Ever wonder where the word 'Jollof' originated from? Well, it's from the Wollof tribe, who are from the Sene-Gambia region. Nigerians & Ghanaians came across it during the time civil servants were sent to the region to help us gain independence. Argue with history, not me ooo

Gambia has some of West Africa's finest accessible beaches. With a beach strip around every corner within a 15-20 min drive, it's no surprise given its size. What sets it apart is the casual beach culture and “Sunday beach”Where wearing your Sunday best to the beach was the norm.
Gambia is called the Smiling Coast of Africa and it’s not hard to see why. The people are so gracious. Anywhere you turn there’s a happy face and a genuine “how are you doing today?”. I really like it. Also the beaches are top tier and free
