What is the best time to book a hotel in Gambia?
If you are considering traveling to Gambia, opt for the warm and dry weather season from November to April. We are talking about temperatures of 20 to 30°C, ideal for enjoying the beaches and national parks. In addition, you will find good hotel availability and more affordable prices compared to the high season.
As for events, the 'Futampaf' carnival constitutes an unforgettable cultural experience, with its parades and traditional dances. If you prefer a quieter experience, during the low season, from May to October, you will enjoy lower prices, although you should be prepared for some rain.
How far in advance is it recommended to book a hotel in Gambia?
To get the best prices and a wider variety of hotel options, it is ideal to book 4 to 6 months in advance, especially for the high season which runs from November to April. In addition, flights tend to have lower prices during this period if booked in advance.
A specific tip for Gambia is to choose packages that include both flights and hotels; this is usually more economical than booking them separately. Although Gambia is not an extremely popular destination, good hotels fill up quickly during the high season. Therefore, booking in advance not only guarantees good prices but also greater availability in quality hotels.
Places to book your hotel and enjoy in Gambia
Don't limit yourself to just the beaches of Gambia, even though they are spectacular. Exploring beyond the coast is a must for any adventurous traveler. Start with Kiang West National Park, where you can see hippos and monkeys. If you're interested in history, a visit to James Island is essential; its role in the slave trade offers an intense and historical lesson.
For a touch of local culture, nothing beats a visit to Serrekunda Market. It's a kaleidoscope of colors, smells, and sounds that you won't forget. And for an unforgettable experience, enjoy a sunset on the Gambia River, preferably aboard a small fishing boat. Come on, Gambia has everything for everyone.
