The Gambia has unique qualities over many other destinations. It is only six hours away from major European destinations, there is no jet lag, and it is a popular and affordable winter destination attracting tourists in search of sun, sea, sand and cultural experience of which this unique country has plenty.

Whilst The Gambia is one of the smallest countries in Africa it has a rich and varied history and a wide range of landscapes,the willingness of the people to help generally means all these places are readily accessible and you'll find you are welcomed with open arms.

There are many tribes but the main ones are Mandinka, Wolof, Fula and Jola, each having its own language and traditions. Dress is varied but always bright and colourful and some of the complicated plaited hairstyles are a work of art, often taking up to two days to complete.

The Gambia is a former British Colony and the official language is English but there are also several tribal languages including Mandinka and Wolof. Whilst the various tribal languages are used by the Gambians to converse between themselves, the official language and language of instruction in most schools is English (The Gambia is a former British colony).
