The smallest country of mainland Africa, the Gambia consists of the Gambia River valley and the hills that run along its edges. Taking off on a journey down the river during your vacation in Gambia allows you to discover a landscape known worldwide as a bird-watcher's paradise - you might want to keep your binoculars and camera handy at all times. The Atlantic coast boasts a number of beach resorts with large hotels and shining sands, while the fishing villages farther inland offer an altogether more rustic and basic take on Gambian charm.

Highlights

Stay at a bush lodge on the edge of the Makasutu Culture Forest
Say hello to the chimps at the Chimpanzee Reserve
Enjoy a Robinson Crusoe moment at Jinack Island – an unspoilt beach cut off from the mainland
Munch on local produce at a lumo (country market)
Get your money’s worth out of those binoculars at the Abuko Nature Reserve – home to wild birds, reptiles and monkeys
