What The Gambia Offers

The Gambia has a good deal to offer everyone - from those seeking a quiet beach holiday, to those after something a little more adventurous. Plus it's very warm, year round, relatively inexpensive and is only 6 hours away with no time difference...

Great Value Holidays to The Gambia

Holidays in The Gambia are very competitively priced compared to other destinations. Sitting outside of the Eurozone The Gambia is also unaffected by the downturn of sterling versus the Euro. In fact, the Dalasi exchange rate is virtually the same as it was about two years ago!

Especially good value are the Luxury Collection properties, where half board options are available at extremely reasonable prices - eating at some of The Gambia's finest à la carte restaurants.
