At just 30 miles across, and 300 miles long, its something of a mystery how so much is crammed in to the tiny West African country of Gambia . Beautiful beaches, quality hotels, and picturesque fishing villages line the coast. The capital, Banjul , has a bustling port, and typical African market. Inland there are national parks, wetland areas, and the Gambia River , with its colourful and noisy flora and fauna. Take a trip in a canoe through the mangrove swamps, where a fashion parade of the worlds most colourful birds will parade before you, and crocodiles will watch lazily from their siesta on the river banks. If you're looking for an ‘ Africa in one hit' kind of trip, this could be the answer.
