I had a great two weeks in The Gambia known as “The Smiling Coast of Africa”. This West African country is officially Africa’s smallest mainland country but a country with one of the most unique identities and spirit.

The destination is renowned for its stunning sandy beaches, hospitable people, three UNESCO heritage sites and year-round sunshine. The Gambia, with its capital Banjul,. is bounded by Senegal with a narrow Atlantic coastline of around 80 kilometers.
