A river you can cruise deep into the country by boat, birdwatching rated among the best in Africa for a country this small, and a beach package-holiday scene that has been quietly popular with Europeans for decades without ever quite becoming crowded.
The best time to visit Banjul & the Gambian coast is Nov–Apr, when typical daytime highs reach about 32°C (90°F).
