Bakotu Hotel, The Gambia
Sharm el-Sheikh
destination, with plenty of plus points such as its short flight or lack of jetlag from being in the same time zone as the UK. But guests don’t have to stray
far from its sun-soaked beaches to explore other assets, whether discovering the local landscapes on a 4x4 excursion or a visit to fishing village Tanji, or spotting wildlife at the Kachikally Crocodile Pool and going birdwatching with a local guide. For really dedicated twitchers,
TV presenter Chris Packham hosts tours with specialist operator The Gambia Experience, with some availability remaining on February departures (£425 supplement for
three days’ guidance). Book it: The Gambia Experience offers seven nights’ B&B in a standard room at Bakotu Hotel in Kotu from £499, including flights from Gatwick to Banjul on December 5, transfers and taxes. The hotel is 100 metres from the beach with a swimming pool, poolside bar and grass-roofed restaurant overlooking the golf course.
