Gambia is the smallest country on mainland Africa. Flanked on
three sides by Senegal, its coast is bordered in the west by the
Atlantic Ocean. Although neighbored by French speaking countries,
Gambia has been influenced by the British and is a member of the
Commonwealth.

Gambia has become a popular destination with travelers, especially
European vacationers. Banjul is the vibrant capital city which
features an exciting night life and bustling marketplaces. Serekunda
is the center of commerce and the largest city, making it one the
major sites to stop when touring Gambia. Villages found on the
coastal region, including Bakau, Fajara, Kotu and Kololi are major
sites for tourists who are delighted to have a holiday on a beautiful
golden beach.

Juffureh is a small village on the banks of the River Gambia with a
rich history. It is believed to be the ancestral home of Alex Haley,
the African American author of "Roots." In this famous book which
later became a television mini-series, Haley described the capture
of his ancestor, Kunta Kinte, who was taken from his home in
Juffureh to be enslaved in America.

Along with history and beautiful beaches, visitors can enjoy an eco
friendly tour in Gambia.
