The Gambia is a fabulous introduction to Africa, and it’s easy to fill a week here with a range of exciting activities. And, with it being around a 6-hour flight away and in the same time zone, there’s no need to worry about jet lag slowing you down. Fly from Gatwick, Manchester or Birmingham and enjoy the warmth, hospitality and the Gambian sun!
Arrive in the afternoon at Banjul Airport, where our local representative will meet you and show you to your shared transfer vehicle. Choose where to stay from the following hotels; each has something different to offer.
And remember, if you can’t decide, you can always split your holiday between more than one hotel!
Spend your days relaxing by the pool or in your hotel garden, or, better still, go out and explore the markets, beaches and forests of The Gambia. See wildlife including monkeys, crocodiles and a magnificent variety of birds, visit a traditional fishing village or try your hand at cooking West African style. You’ll find a full list of organised excursions here or hire a driver and guide if you prefer to explore independently.
Both residents at Coco Ocean and guests from our other hotels may book a treatment at the luxurious Coco Ocean Spa with its Moroccan Hammam, steam room, sauna and thalassotherapy pool for the ultimate pampering experience.
After a leisurely breakfast, you’ll have time for a walk on the beach or some last minute shopping. Your mid-morning pick up will take you back to the airport to check-in for your flight home.
