3 Nights in The Gambia, The Smiling Coast of Africa
2019 wasn’t proving to be my most favourable year.
It was mid-March and already things had quite frankly gone to pot.
I needed to escape and fast.
I played around on Skyscanner, using the world map feature to view flights from my local city to all over the world. It was fun to customise flights, searching for direct flights only with a return cost of under £200.
Suddenly, my heart leapt.
Could it be?
A return flight for £170 per person was showing for a country perched upon the West African coastline.
I nearly squealed in delight.
If you’ve been following my blog you will know just how much my heart pulls me to the African continent.
So far I had only ventured to southern Africa, reaching Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Namibia. West Africa was somewhere I desperately wanted to visit and now it was essentially being handed to me on a plate.
I’d heard little of The Gambia but it didn’t matter. I wanted to get to know The Gambia personally.
So, I bought the tickets for 3 nights only a week in advance.
I was going to The Gambia!
Below is a chronological list of all my blog posts from this trip.
