  • What local specialties should you try in The Gambia?

    The coastal areas, such as Kotu and Senegambia, generally experience milder temperatures than inland regions, particularly during the hotter months.
  • What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in The Gambia?

    Overestimating the availability of credit card payments, not exchanging currency before arrival, and underestimating the heat during the hotter months are common mistakes. Also, not researching local customs and traditions can lead to unintentional cultural faux pas.

    The Abuko Nature Reserve offers a chance to see diverse wildlife, including monkeys and birds.
