Nestled within the embrace of Senegal, The Gambia is a sliver of land extending into the continent's heart along the banks of the eponymous river. This English-speaking nation, though diminutive in size, is mighty in the warmth of its people. The Gambia boasts a trove of birdlife, lively markets in its capital, Banjul, and tranquil beaches that fringe the Atlantic, offering a serene escape under the West African sun.
