New pictures from The Gambia

Stunning shots from photographer Piers Golden, who visited The Gambia to explore the country's colourful culture, and came back with some beautiful images...

A country boasting exceptional wildlife, a vibrant culture and welcoming people, here's some of our favourite recent images of The Gambia, taken by Piers Golden.

The tranquil atmosphere of Ngala Lodge's private beach. Sunsets here are out of this world. The charm at this hotel can be felt all over.

 

Ngala also offers some particularly tasty evening delicacies... make sure to try them on your next trip!

 

The traditional entertainment at Kombo Beach Hotel. This is a great way to immerse in the culture and vibrancy of the conutry.

 

Bright and colourful fishing boats, like this one on Bakau Beach. Many guests love to spend time just watching life go by on the beach, one of Gambia's many beautiful attributes.

 

Little green vervet monkeys which you'll find out and about. They are great fun to watch!

 

The relaxing spa at Coco Ocean. This is an adult-only haven, offering a tranquil escape.

 

Locals collecting oysters in the mangroves. You can witness daily life such as this on one of our many fantastic excursions, be it a day trip, or on a guided river-pirogue cruise whilst staying at Mandina Lodges.
