Many tourists spend their holiday in Gambia on the many beaches. Kololi and Kotu offer fine sandy beaches which stretch for miles. Cape Point has a very large and wide beach that has lovely golden sand. Bijilo and Brufut beaches are sandy and less crowded. Sanyang beach is away from the main tourist resorts, but well worth a visit. It has a fantastic white sand beach dotted with the occasional beach bar and is very peaceful and relaxing.
The Gambia is a former British colony and many of the locals speak good English. During your holiday in Gambia there are many excursions for you to enjoy. Try the Crocodile pool at Bakau where you can meet “Charlie” who looks suspiciously like all the other crocs! There is the Bijilo Forest Park where you will have the chance to see Monkeys living in their natural environment. Have a jeep safari to Sanyang beach, a beautiful stretch of white sand backed by palm trees and lapped by the Atlantic Ocean. Gambia holidays also offer the opportunity to visit Fort James Island which was one of the main collection points for slaves until slavery was abolished. It was said to be the inspiration for the film Roots.
On arrival to Banjul airport, from the moment you step off your aircraft you will see why the area gets called the Smiling Coast. The locals are very friendly, laid back and will greet you with a warm smile. Gambia holidays are perfect for a relaxing break, however on a night time some of the resorts come alive! Kololi is also known locally as the Senegambia Strip. There is a good range of bars and restaurants as well as a couple of lively discos. Kotu also offers some nice restaurants too. The Gambia has casinos in Kololi and Kotu for those keen gamblers.
