The Gambia

The Gambia is one of the nicest spots for a volunteer to spend time in Africa. One can experience the 'real' Africa, the noise, the drums, the heat, the dust and, best of all, the friendly village people. And, just a short distance away, the rolling surf of the Atlantic, with water temperature around 28°C. Experience Africa in safe and happy surroundings.
