Gambia

Discover essential information about Gambia

The Gambia is Africa's smallest mainland country, a narrow sliver of land almost entirely surrounded by Senegal. The River Gambia runs through its center and empties into the Atlantic Ocean, creating a rich ecosystem that is a paradise for birdwatchers—over 580 species have been recorded here. Its beaches and warm, welcoming culture have made it one of West Africa's top tourism destinations.
