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 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?
