How this place changed my life
I visted The Gambia when I was just 13 with my family. It was the first time my parents ventured to take me and my little sister somewhere more adventurous than the average holiday resort.
It was just incredible. The sights and sounds and smells will always be with me! The wildlife is amazing and the culture of the country is so rich. I’d love to go back someday!
Definately worth the visit for an ‘off the beaten track’ holiday!

Take your breath away amazing
There is something amazing about this place, something spiritual that just cannot be explained. I’ve travelled there several times for charity work and every time I have to leave it gets harder and harder. A big shout out goes to Tendaba Camp, about a million miles up river and involving a torturous and long journey along bumpy dirt tracks but it is so worth it. The Banjul market is worth a visit too, if only to show how different it is from the Western world. Arch 22 and the view from it is a personal favourite of mine and the first image that comes to mind when I think of The Gambia. I ‘d go back again, and again and again…and I probably will!

Why I want to go to this place
My girlfriend has family there and I’m going to visit them. We’ll also be busy with a project to help musicians gain access to collaborations with artists in Europe.
