Why visiting Gambia?
With unspoiled stretches of soft white sands sandwiched between turquoise waters and swaying palms, flights to Gambia are perfect for those seeking a sun-soaked beach break. But, Gambia’s appeal doesn’t just end at its idyllic coastline. It may be West Africa’s smallest country, but it has plenty to offer. From its incredible wildlife to its bustling markets, warm hospitality and vibrant culture, there are many reasons why you should visit Gambia. Offering a range of accommodation from luxury five-star resorts to budget hotels, tickets to Gambia are perfect for every kind of traveller.
When it comes to booking flights to Gambia, the country is home to just one airport, Banjul International Airport which sits in the capital city of Banjul. You can fly to Gambia from a range of cities across the world including London, Barcelona, Istanbul and Casablanca. As well as being a gateway to the rest of the country, Banjul is a bustling city where you can get a taste of the rich West African culture. Scattered around the city, you’ll find a range of exciting attractions, from colourful and chaotic markets to impressive architecture and fascinating museums. Due to its small size, Gambia is easy to get around with many travellers going on to explore the rest of the country. Popular towns to stay in include Kololi, a lively resort with golden sandy beaches and many restaurants and bars, and Kotu, a smaller resort with a beautiful palm-lined coastline and more delicious restaurants to choose from.
Although many people book flights to Gambia for its beaches and nature reserves, there are a fair few sights to see, too. In the capital, you can find Arch 22, a remarkable structure in the centre of the city, Banjul Central Mosque with its striking architecture, and the National Museum of Gambia where you can learn more about the country’s rich culture. Fort Bullen, a historic fort in Barra and the Senegambian stone circles, ancient stone circles that make a fascinating sight, are also well worth a visit. Apart from its landmarks, there’s plenty to keep you busy. The wildlife-filled Abuko Nature Reserve is one of the country’s most popular tourist attractions. There’s also Bijilo Forest Park or Monkey Park, with its scenic walking trails, and Kachikally crocodile pool, a sacred site for locals and one where you get up close to crocodiles. If relaxing is more your thing, a trip to the unspoiled Brufut Beach should definitely be on your itinerary.
