    • Favorite Thing: Banjul was founded by the British in 1816 on a strategic peninsula at the mouth of the Gambia River. It is Gambia's capital and largest city. But with only about 50,000 inhabitants, it is one of the smallest capital cities in Africa. Banjul lacks many of the attractions of larger, more cosmopolitan cities, and therefore there is little of interest for the traveler. However, it is still worth visiting the capital city to experience Gambian urban life. Most travelers only go to Banjul to take the ferry across the Gambia River on their way to the river's north bank or Senegal.

     Lots of info on Gambia that I knew nothing about. Birdwatching can take you to some fascinating places.    		Bwana_Brown Tue Mar 27, 2007 14:16 UTC
     Dave, this is an excellent page with lots of great details on The Gambia!! I really enjoyed your descriptions of the roads, ferries and life along the river - brought back old African memories. I hope you saw lots of birds!

     Great page full of very useful info. I would like to see the Abuko Nature Reserve and Pirang Forest Park.    		Hosell Thu Feb 22, 2007 21:27 UTC
