The Gambia may be mainland Africa’s smallest nation, but it offers a much-varied landscape, featuring sandy beaches, lush tropical forests, swamps, marshes and large areas of wooded savannah. The River Gambia, one of Africa's great waterways, dominates the country, and The Gambia’s parks, reserves and riverbanks are a major attraction for ecotourists as they provide refuge for monkeys, crocodiles, a small population of hippos and well over 500 bird species. There are many exciting and interesting sights for visitors to see with a wide range of excursions available on resort to choose from.
