Located in West Africa, Gambia is the smallest country area on the African continent. It is geographically split into two parts by the Gambia River, with a short coastal strip on the Atlantic Ocean in the west and surrounded by Senegal on all other sides.
The capital of Gambia, Banjul, is on an island along the Atlantic Ocean, and the largest and most developed city is Serekunda. Although Gambia gained independence in 1970 from being a former British colony, English remains the official language. Due to the diverse ethnic backgrounds of the population, various local languages are spoken among the people.
While a significant portion of Gambians practice Islam and Christianity, African religions are also embraced. This has led to the sacred reverence of crocodiles, which you can visit and touch for good luck at the three major crocodile farms in Gambia.
Gambia has a tropical climate, with a dry season between November and May, where temperatures can occasionally rise above 40 degrees Celsius. In Gambia, traffic moves on the right-hand side, and shared taxis are commonly used for urban transportation. The country lacks a rail network, and river transport is not highly developed, even though it is available.
Gambian cuisine reflects various cultural influences, with seafood and peanut dishes being among the most recommended local flavors. It's crucial not to drink tap water during your stay in Gambia and to ensure the cleanliness and reliability of the places where you eat. You can purchase local products at Albert Market.
