A VISITOR'S PERSPECTIVE ABOUT THE GAMBIA

IT’S NICE TO BE NICE

When faced with the doom and gloom of Britain in mid February the holidaymaker will inevitably consider a week away somewhere warm and if financially possible, somewhere tropical.
Unfortunately towards the end of March there are limited countries to visit where the temperature is a ‘sweater-free’ 25 degrees or more without flying tot he ever-disappointing Canary Islands or all the way to the Caribbean or Middle East. That is, of course until you discover The Gambia.

Enjoying an average of ten hours of sunshine a day at a temperate 28-32degrees The Gambia is fast becoming the long haul destination a short haul away.

Before you even climb on the plane you are sure to have bought a rough guide to the country and most of them will inevitably inform you of the good and bad things to watch out for when visiting The Gambia for the first time. Some will even stress the bad things more than the good but until you visit and make your own mind up you just won’t know how great the country is.
