Tour of some of the main tourist areas, The Gambia (February 2019)
We start off at Lemon Creek Hotel in Bijilo, then drive towards Senegambia Strip and then go down there after visiting the Kololi Police Station. After coming back up the strip, we take a left turn at Yasmina Restaurant and then drive down Duplex Road. After turning round at the bottom of Duplex Road where Poco Loco is, we then drive back to the main Bertil Harding Highway and take a left turn and head towards Badala Park Road in Kotu. After driving to the end where Koto Craft Market is, we finish off with a little sunset shot near Kotu Creek Bridge.
Kotu Beach in Kotu, Gambia
A small and wonderfully welcoming African nation, the Gambia is awash with stunning palm-lined beaches and Kotu Beach is one of the most popular among visitors from the UK and across Europe. Combining the luxury and convenience of a modern beach resort with abundant opportunity for off the beaten track adventure, the sun-baked destination lies less than 15 miles from Yundum International Airport, located in the colourful Gambian capital, Banjul.
Although Koto Beach is an increasingly popular holiday destination, it has so far avoided the overdevelopment that has blighted so many exotic destinations. Planning restrictions mean that towering high rise hotels are conspicuous by their absence and instead the attractive resort of Kotu is characterised by low-rise hotel and apartment complexes, built in the traditional style. Beach bars with straw roofs are the perfect places to enjoy a tangy cocktail or cooling coconut water whilst admiring the beautiful view. The soft white sands of Kotu Beach are perfect for stretching out with a good book and soaking up some of those West African rays.
Kotu Beach is located towards the northern edge of the Gambia's beautiful coastline and is one of several beach resorts stretching south from the mighty River Gambia. Whilst it is perfectly possible to just kick back and relax during a trip to Kotu Beach, adrenaline junkies won't be disappointed either. Opportunities for water-based adventure abound - jet-skiing, deep sea diving and other high octane activities can all be arranged at Kotu Beach resort.
Most hotels are set in their own beautiful tropical gardens and the slow pace of life here makes a break in Kotu Beach the perfect choice for couples looking to escape the world for a honeymoon or romantic getaway. Kotu Beach is also popular with families and many hotels are very well equipped to meet the needs of both young children and teenagers as well as adults - some can even arrange baby sitting services for those who want to slip away for an evening safe in the knowledge that the younger family members are in safe hands. Snorkelling, swimming and fishing are good family friendly activities that can easily be arranged by most hotels in Kotu and the beautiful bird and animal life that abounds in this part of Africa will be sure to impress even the sulkiest of teens.
For many people, the Gambia is synonymous with rich wildlife and visitors to Kotu Beach will be well-placed for seeing many of the natural wonders that this African nation has to offer. The Kotu Creek wetlands run east of the Kotu Beach resort and are awash with hundreds of colourful native bird species. Bird watching safaris are a popular activity with travellers visiting the Gambia, whilst river cruises along the River Gambia provide excellent opportunities to spot hippos, crocodiles and other wetland animals at dramatically close quarters. Inland safaris are also hugely popular and lucky tourists may even be able to spot chimpanzees as well as the many smaller monkeys that leap from branch to branch overhead.
Kotu Beach is a great base for exploring the wider Gambia and hotels here are more than happy to arrange long and short excursions for guests. Local transport mainly takes the form of bone-rattling public buses and bare-bones river boats, so visitors who wish to travel a little more luxuriously would be well-advised to take trips aboard more comfortable tourist boats and buses.
It is perfectly possible to combine off the beaten track adventure with modern luxury during a break here - for example, a couple of days safari adventure can be offset with a sap treatment and a few rounds of golf at the nearby Fajara Golf Course. Kotu Beach resort boasts plenty of relaxed bars and restaurants, serving family-friendly international dishes such as pizza and pasta as well as the wonderfully spicy and flavoursome cuisine that is typical of the Gambia.
Unsurprisingly, the fish here is wonderful - caught daily by local fishermen, it's a great way to support the local economy while treating yourself to some of the freshest seafood you can imagine.
Kotu Beach resort also has a scattering of smaller shops as well as a supermarket, ideal for self-caterers and for anyone planning a picnic. Meanwhile, the local market is a colourful place to pick up local handicrafts.

The Gambia for Beginners: with THE DEE'S
The Gambia.. the smiling coast of West Africa!! What a beautiful country with very friendly people. We had a ball in The Gambia! And we're definitely returning. Initially EVERYONE was in shock after entering Terminal 2, it was being renovated but there weren’t any under construction signs displayed, and it looked like a war zone! One by one as we entered the terminal our jaws dropped as we were all stunned by its appearance & condition, myself included! But we quickly found out what was going on. As I mentioned before, we are returning, there was just too much to see and do for us not too, plus its a very relaxing place to spend a few weeks (possibly relocate). We tried to experience ALL of The Gambia: Fathala Wildlife Reserve, The Monkey Park, Makasutu at Coral Beach and The Kairaba Beach Hotel, and a visit to every adult beverage dispenser in the area including The Calypso Bar & Restaurant ????. Enjoyyyyyyy ????????????????????????????????

After an uncomfortable flight we were very relieved to get our room and SLEEP! We showcased 3 different rooms in this video. Initially we were in room# 6010, but felt a little isolated and asked for a different room. We were then given room# 4011, while room# 4122 was a friend’s room. If you are coming between September and November, bring an umbrella with you, it’s the rain season. You should be ready for some rain storms. We were lucky to only experience one torrential storm (around 3am) that came with heavy downpour accompanied powerful winds that blew a lot of stuff around. A few other nights were light showers, also in the early mornings, but we had lots of sunshine and heat everyday.

As we stepped onto the beach of in-front of our hotel, we were caught off-guard by some friendly and talented musicians (we dubbed them The Gambian Beach Boys). They wanted to welcome us to The Gambia - Smiling coast of West Africa.
We were told that this style of music that they're playing is called Mandaig

The food, entertainment, staff and management were really professional at this resort. After a few hurdles our stay at the Labranda was excellent. For all of the “Hotel jockeys” (people that don’t leave the resorts) leave the resort(s) and venture out to the REAL Gambia, the people are friendly, welcoming, hospitable…. We always take chances to explore and we always return home with GREAT EXPERIENCES. The Gambia was no different. Take a chance and get a first-hand view of this beautiful country, you will not be let down. I (we) could go on and on about this country and Gambians (in a positive way) because our experience was so memorable that we are are planning our return to THE GAMBIA.
