Destination
Gambia
The Gambia winds along the Gambia River to a calm Atlantic shoreline, offering quiet villages, bustling markets and abundant birdlife in savanna wetlands; travellers enjoy river boat trips, tastier fish dishes and evenings listening to West African rhythms.
Late November to early March brings gentle breezes, clear skies and the peak of bird migration, making outdoor exploring especially rewarding.
