Fleewinter really made our trip memorable. It was so easy and they choose the right hotels and tours and cities to experience, the trip just opened our eyes to a completely different culture.
With never-ending palm-fringed sandy beaches, uninterrupted sunshine from November to mid-June, fabulous boutique hotels and eco-lodges, The Gambia is a wonderful winter sun holiday destination. Add to the mix a colourful culture, rich in traditions, fascinating wildlife including over 540 species of birds, and warm, welcoming people and you have the ingredients for a magical holiday. As a former British colony, English is the official language of The Gambia, so communication isn’t a problem. And it’s around a 6-hour flight from London and in the same time zone so there’s no need to worry about jet lag.
The tough decision is where to stay. Perhaps a floating river lodge deep in the heart of a sacred forest that’s home to hundreds of baboons and a myriad of birds? Or is a Moroccan-inspired luxury spa resort by the beach more your style? Would you prefer an intimate boutique hotel? Can’t decide? With our tailor-made holidays, you can have the best of both worlds by combining two or more from our collection of hotels.
This is a fascinating country. Unique natural habitats, rare flora and fauna, exceptional landscapes, uninterrupted sunshine, friendly locals, pristine beaches, and continent-transcending music: this is magnificent, unmissable, The Gambia.
