Holidays to The Gambia

Gambia Holiday Deals

In the vast continent of Africa, it is surprising to find, if you ignore countries that are islands, one of the smallest countries in the world. Gambia holidays take you a country that is little more than the banks of a river. At twenty-two miles wide and less than two hundred miles long, it follows the course of the Gambia River, the reason for its strategic importance in the past and the reason why it became a British Colony. It is English speaking and gained independence in 1965.

Since this time, tourism has become an important part of the country's economy. It is a great destination for those who want to escape the dark, dreary days of winter especially since Gambia lies in the same time zone and flight duration is only six hours. Avoid the rainy season from July to October and you are guaranteed wall to wall sunshine.

Located on the west coast of Africa, Gambia is not only a beach resort. The wonderful soft, sandy shores are the main reason visitors travel to the country but this subtropical portion of the continent has an interesting and varied landscape with forests and swamps filled with animal life. The country has a large bird population and several species of monkeys. Animals having regular, contact with people can lose their fear and inhibitions. Do remember that they are wild and have sharp teeth.
