National parks meet surfing hotspots

Salaam aleikum, and welcome to The Gambia, Africa’s smallest country. It punches above its weight, of course! Situated on the continent’s west coast just below Senegal, Gambia is most well known for its abundant wildlife and unusually diverse ecosystems, as well as the river running through the heart of it. In Kiang West National Park or Bao Bolong Wetland Reserve you might find monkeys, hippos or hyenas, and you’re bound to see plenty of beautiful birds. There’s also sun and surf on the coast if that’s what you’re into, and markets and city life in the capital of Banjul. If peanut-stewed meat, superfood baobab juice, and some of the best wildlife-watching in West Africa, then VISIT THE GAMBIA!
