Banjul

GBYD/BJL

Banjul and the surrounding coast of The Gambia offer warm Atlantic beaches, vibrant local culture and a relaxed West African atmosphere. Set beside the mouth of the Gambia River, the region is known for colourful markets, wildlife-rich mangroves and long stretches of sand lined with hotels and beach bars. Visitors can explore river cruises, nature reserves and traditional villages, while the welcoming climate and slower pace make it a popular destination for winter sunshine.
