Extractions: Contact This is a long page, please use the scroll bar on right as needed. Best viewed at a resolution of 1024x768 Here we will explain as much as possible about our holidays in The Gambia, the smiling coast of west Africa. We offer you an alternative to the usual hotel or 'luxury safari' rip-offs. We are first and foremost about 'reality' and are not stuffy, nor pretentious. We believe in giving you real value for money and a genuine experience of this country, it's culture and it's wonderful people. Unlike the hotels, we do not try to pass off on you any psuedo culture. We always give you the real thing. We offer you the opportunity to live in a normal house, much like any others in the area. Living in with the local community, amongst the people, you will not be divorced from them, as you would be enclosed in an hotel, that could be anywhere on the planet. But you still have a very secure and safe environment.

Extractions: Women in The Gambia (2005) What can I say? I love this little country. From the moment you step off the airplane and enter into its flat abyss, you delve into a riddim that is constantly pulsing on its own. Strip away all the things you hear about Africa, all of the sadness, all of the poverty, all of the environmental and social hazards, and you will find a magical place, surviving it all. The Good On this trip, I have to say, the women were my most interesting study. The women of Gambia made this trip a most delightful and intriguing sojourn. Gambia is all about the women. She is the bread winner, the land owner, the cook, the maid, the Vice President, the business owner, the farmer, the mother, and sometimes the father, the organizershe is all. I have to say without the women, I dont see how this little country would survive. There isnt one role that the women of Gambia do not play. She should be President! But that will be left up to the Gambian people to decide one of these days-and I hope very soon. While it is well noted to mention their Vice President is a woman, the Hon. Isatou Njie-Saidy. A woman that holds a great seat of prestige and power, the

More and more visitors are returning year after year. A BIT OF HISTORY GEOGRAPHY AND CLIMATE The Gambia is 180 miles long, but only 21 miles wide, and follows the course of the River Gambia as it meanders west through mangrove swamps, bamboo forests, and salt flats, to the capital city Banjul, which is located along the 30-mile stretch of Atlantic coast. The Gambia lies at the southern edge of the Sahel and is made up of mostly savannah and open woodland vegetation. The raining season is short, from July to September, with most of the precipitation falling at night. The climate is dry and warm from December through February, the peak of the tourist season.
