Why Visit The Gambia

Banjul Highlights

A half day excursion to The Gambia's capital city and surrounding area, starting with a photo stop at Arch 22 which was built to commemorate independence. The next stop is at the National Museum where the collection traces African Culture and European Colonialism.

A drive through the streets of Banjul leads up to Albert Market to experience the hustle and bustle of a market, where you can buy anything from live chicken to fresh vegetables and false hair! (As in any crowded place, please take care of handbags, cameras and other valuables). From Banjul, stopping briefly at the largest mosque in the city, you visit a primary school with the option of visiting a school for the blind.

After a refreshing tour of Banjul Brewery and a chance to sample the locally produced Julbrew, the morning is completed with a trip to the Kachically Crocodile Pool to see Charlie who has appeared in several TV programmes. Return to the hotels around lunchtime.
