With 16 well-researched chapters and 26 useful maps, this new
thoroughly updated second edition of Bradt's The Gambia remains the
most comprehensive guide available in any language to what is the
smallest country on mainland Africa. Significant development has
taken place in recent years and this new edition offers all the
latest updates, including new restaurants and hotels, detailed
coverage of the many new eco lodges and camps that have sprung up,
information on festivals, music workshops and opportunities to
experience the unique local culture, and informed advice about
birdwatching possibilities in a country very popular with
first-time birders to Africa. As well as encompassing the popular
coastal resorts, the guide also provides all the detailed
information required to explore the relatively undeveloped
interior, making it ideal for both visitors on organised packaged
holidays and independent travellers alike. Bradt's The Gambia
reveals all the background and practical information needed to
explore arguably Africa's most welcoming and safest country with
its plethora of beach resorts catering to all tastes and budgets
that line the 80km stretch of tropical coastline running from the
capital Banjul to the remote southern border. Small in size but
rich in African character, The Gambia offers perhaps the closest
English-speaking 'winter sun' destination from Europe. Justifiably
popular with birdwatchers, the lush mangrove- and jungle-fringed
river is also home to crocodiles, hippos, chimpanzees and a variety
of monkeys. Historic attractions include the mysterious megalithic
stone circles at Wassu and Ker Batch, and the fortified James
Island and former slave-trading village of Juffureh (to where Alex
Haley traced his ancestry in the book and TV programme Roots) - all
of which form part of the country's two UNESCO World Heritage Sites
and offer rich pickings to moderately adventurous travellers. All
in all, Bradt's The Gambia is the perfect companion for discovering
this safe, welcoming and decidedly tourist-friendly
English-speaking country which makes for an ideal short-stay
introduction to the unique atmosphere of Africa.
