Explore Kartong and Gunjur beaches. They are Gambia’s most pristine beaches and home to a number of excellent eco-retreats. Alternatively visit Kotu, the best beach along Gambia’s main resort strip. Becareful, though: the seas sometimes experience high tide.
Abuko Nature Reserve
The best time to explore this natural reserve is in the morning. The reserve is home to crocodiles, monkeys, forest antelope, reptiles and over 300 bird species. Walk through the tropical forest of the Abuko Nature Reserve, which is within easy reach of the main resort areas
Albreda and Jufureh
These twin villages were made popular by Alex Haley's novel Roots. Here you can explore Gambia's colonial history and slave trade.
