The Gambia, the smiling coast of Africa because of the hospitality and friendliness of its people, has become a popular winter destination for beach-bound tourists. But not only have its splendid coasts lured visitors, because there’s more to this small yet interesting country than sea, sand, and sun. Gambia is scenically diverse, with lush tropical forests, marshes and wooded savannas, which are major attractions for ecotourists. Spectacular nature reserves like Kiang West National Park and the River Gambia offer great interlude from the bustle of the beach, waiting to be soaked up by open-eyed tourists. Gambia has a vibrant culture, a result of very diverse influences, with eight different ethnic groups.
