Accomodation

The Gambia offers a veriety of accomodation, from luxury hotels, self-catering apartments, and guesthouses to upcountry lodges. There are four main resort areas in what is referred to as the palm-fringed coastline, with long stretches of golden sands overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Accomodation is often booked up in the winter season (November to May) and individual travellers should seek comfirmation with advance booking.

Most of the hotels are self contained complexes set in spacious gardens and will generally cater to the needs of most tourists. Rooms will not always be air conditioned and visitors who require this service should be sure to request this.

There are also dozens of camps, lodges and motels in the rural areas which provide basic but comfortable accomodation and food for tourists on excursions or other visitors wishing to discover the real Gambia.

Gambia Hotel Association

This is the umbrella organisation for most of the hotels in the country. The association plays a leading role in the promotion of tourism in The Gambia. The association finances its activities through an annual membership subscription based on the number of rooms and other special contributions when necessary. Meetings are held every month to review matters affecting its members or the tourism sector in general. The Chairman of the association is elected every year with the possibility of re-election.
