<p><strong>Gambia Holiday Information | African Adventure Tours</strong></p>Home >>Gambia The Gambia The Gambiais one of Africa's smallest countries and has enjoyed long spells of stability and peace since independance in 1965. Located in West Africa and surrounded by Senegal on the northern, eastern and southern borders. In the west the Atlantic Ocean creates a natural border with long and unspoilt beaches. The country is named after the river Gambia which flows through the country's centre and empties in the Atlantic Ocean. President of the Republic of the Gambia is H.E. Prof. Dr. Alhagie Yayha Jammeh who came to power in 1994 and heads the government in the capital of Banjul. The largest urban area is Serrekunda. The Gambia was once a part of the great Mali Empire but during the 15th century the colonistion started. by the Portuguese and laterthe British. Because of the river and it strategic location Gambia played an important role in the slave trade. Through the centuries over as many as 3 million slaves may have been taken from the region. Places like Albreda,Juffureh and St. James Island are visited by many tourist because of their centre role in this trade.On the 18th of February 1965 The Gambia gained independance as a constitutional monarchy within the Commenwealth of Nations. On April 24th 1970 The Gambia became a Republic. The climate is sub tropical with a short rainy season (July - September) and a dry season which attracts many tourist, mainly from Europe, who come to enjoy the ideal temperatures and to explore the country, it's people and rich culture. Islam is the predominant religion (90%) but is not a state religion. The Christian community represents about 8%. The religions respect each other and all major Muslim and Christian holidays are observed.

Recently we explored Guinea-Bissau and we are in the process of adding this new and exciting destination to our excursions and round trips. We offer the following services: Destination management Airport and resort transfers Excursions within and outside the Gambia Airline ticketing Hotel reservations Round trips Conferences and incentives Logistics for cruise liners We are the agents for the following organisations: Sunweb (NL) Sudtours (NL) Bayba Travel (UK) Sunweb (ES) Jiba (NL) Vaja.nl (NL) Q-International (NL) We own a fleet of air-conditioned coaches, mini coaches, land rovers, trucks and boats.

Do you want to change the world? Then, you can begin with African children! Children need your financial contribution. U.N. representatives asked, “What do you want? How can we help you?” Here’s the universal response, “I want to go to school.” They have no hope because many have lost their homes, families, and friends. They are in desperate need of education and medical attention. The 4x4 wheel drive excursion is an excursion with a 4x4 wheel drive military truck going off the beater track into the rural areas, a family compound, visiting villages, fishing villages, and a school during the trip. Experience a village school life, the teachers, the class room where they learn, built with wood or bamboo and mold, their writing items, playing grounds, the ability to interact with the students, a culture center, experiencing the hospitality of the compound. We also give our clients an opportunity to visit a family compound to greet families and their children and having idea on how they live day by day. This excursion is mainly based on child adoption. Adopt a child in one of the villages and help sponsor his or her education for a better future. You can as well help some of the village schools by providing learning material and other facilities to make their learning easier and comfortable. NGO's are also welcome to assist in this project. It’s possible to see both young and old people coming back from the farm either with their catch of the day or carrying fire wood on their head to their homes. We make you feel a real Gambian adventure during your vacation in the Gambia. Picnic lunch is served at the Atlantic coast. <br>

Also whatthe do's and don'ts are when visting our country. To make it easy you will find many useful tips listed below.If you want to know more about Gambia, click here Bring along Do's and Don'ts A bottle of water Sunscreen lotion Wear good shoes Mosquito repellent when going on nature trips or overnight excursions Cap, hat or other protective wear for the head Money, just in case you want to buy a souvenir, a drink or for tip Passport, when visiting Senegal or other countries Toilet paper, when going into the rural areas up country Towel, when going on a trip that includes a visit to a beach Sweets, pens, toys. You can buy them locally so you also support the local shops! Protect your camera with a plastic bag, in winter against the dust in summer from the rain. Don't throw sweets or gifts from a moving vehicle to kids. They will only pay attention to the gift and not to traffic! Do ask as many questions you like to our guides, they will be happy to answer them Make sure your batteries of your camera are fully charged or have spares with you Don't take photographs of officials wearing uniforms or of official buildings like the US Embassy Give away your empty water bottle to a child, they will use it to fetch water from the municipal wells or taps. Do barter for your souvenirs when on the marktet (see on the right) Don't get involved in drugs in any way. It is illegal! Gambia is mainly a muslim country so please respect the dress code and cover the torso and for the women cover the shoulders and no mini-skirts/pants especially when going to the rural areas Please remember that Gambia is a peaceful country with a low criminal rate butbe aware of pick pockets when visiting busy places like markets. Gambia is not exception to this worldwide rule. We advise you to hire a safe in your accommodation to store your valuables. Better safe then sorry. The beaches are unspoilt and almost endless, the Atlantic Oceon ismajestic and a good place to cool down. However beaware of the sometimesstrongcurrents. Most hotels use a flag system to indicatethe swimming conditions. <br>
Bartering, an art! When you go out to buy souvenirs on the marktet you will need to barter as the markets in Gambia don't work with fixed prices. In the souvenir shops in the hotels there are fixed prices as in restaurants, supermarkets etc. Also for taxi fares it is wise to barter (except the so called 'tanka tanka's). A few golden rules: Know what you want to buy and what you don't want to buy. Initially offer about 25% of the asking price, you should end up paying around 50% of the asking price. But if your ok with the price then that is more important. Do some research in for instance the hotel souvenir shop to get an idea about the prices Never buy anything on your first day, you will overpay Set a maximum price in your mind. Don't discuss out loud with your partner what you are willing to pay. These sellers have good ears and also understand numbers in other languages. Walking away, changing the subject, complaining about money etc are all part of the game called bartering. Please note that certain souvenirs can be more heavy then you think. A big djembe (local drum) easily weighs 7 kilo's. Be aware that it is forbidden to take along souvenirs made from protected animals like turtle, crocodile etc. <br>
