The Gambia Experience |
|
Unbeatable choice of places to stay. The Gambia Experience have selected the best accommodation ranging from great value hotels to 5 star and deluxe resorts. We offer many hotels and upgraded room types not available through other operators including a total eco-friendly lodge in the heart of the forest. Some featured hotels also have facilities for children including separate pool and play areas. Unspoilt, The Gambia is situated on the beautiful West African coast midway between the Tropic of Cancer and the Equator on approximately the same latitude as Barbados. One of the smallest countries in Africa The Gambia is mostly flat and shaped like a crooked finger a narrow strip of land on either side following the course of the majestic River Gambia from which it takes its name. The capital Banjul located on the peninsular on the south side of the river estuary is the administrative and commercial centre of the country but is of little interest to tourists. The majority of the tourist hotels are well spread out along the coastline of the peninsular which boasts 25 miles of un crowded sandy beaches. Known as the smiling coast, The Gambia has so much to offer all year round from its unsophisticated charm, miles of deserted palm fringed beaches, spacious tropical gardens and nature reserves to quality hotels, craft markets, interesting excursions and some of the most friendly people on earth. Under 6 hours flying time from London, The Gambia truly offers an exciting destination and warm hospitality to those looking for a real alternative to the resorts of Europe, but at comparable prices. |
