Departure
The Gambia is Africa's smallest mainland country — a thin sliver of land hugging the River Gambia, flanked by Senegal on all sides and opening onto the Atlantic Ocean. Don't let the size fool you. The Gambia punches far above its weight in culture, birdlife, warmth and coastal beauty.
This 7-day safari takes you through the vibrant capital Banjul, the lively beach town of Bakau, and along one of West Africa's most accessible and rewarding Atlantic coastlines. Over 600 bird species. The sacred Kachikally Crocodile Pool. Craft markets overflowing with colour. Sunset dhow cruises. The famous Gambian hospitality — teranga — that makes every visitor feel like family.
The Mandinka are the people of Sundiata Keita, the great Mali Empire, and the kora — the 21-string instrument that is one of West Africa's most beautiful musical traditions. The Wolof bring their language, fashion and legendary social culture to the Gambian coast. The Jola people of the south maintain ancient rice farming traditions and extraordinary initiation ceremonies. The Gambia's story is also the story of the Atlantic slave trade — Kunta Kinte Island in the River Gambia is one of the most significant slave trade heritage sites in the world.
