THE GAMBIA
“A trip to the colourful local
markets where the vividly-painted
fishing boats arrive through the white surf, is a must”
have steadily risen. Attractions include the sprawling capital of Banjul, on the river’s estuary, with a metropolitan area population of around 300,000; Jufureh, on the River Gambia National Park and guests get to stay in an eco-camp for a real back-to-nature experience. Birdwatching tours are another popular option. All-inclusives are becoming increasingly popular at hotels such as the four-star Laico Atlantis Beach and the three-star Palma Rim. Accommodation standards are high – Ngala Lodge recently received the TripAdvisor Award for Excellence logging 90% plus scores.
