The Rough Guide To The Gambia (1st Edition) (Rough Guide Travel Guides) - Softcover

"The Rough Guide to the Gambia" should prove a useful companion for a visit to Africa's most accessible country. Detailed maps and plans are complemented by expert and upbeat guidance on the beaches, villages and music, the mangrove creeks and the Gambia River itself. There are first-hand reviews of pretty much every accommodation, restaurant and bar option in the country, both on and off the beaten track and for everyone from shoestring travellers to luxury tourers. The guide is also full of trademark candid insights into Gambian history, politics, music, language and culture.

Richard Trillo is also the author of the Rough Guide to West Africa and has been visiting the region regularly since his first trip in 1978. After meeting Richard on a research trip in The Gambia 1994, Emma Gregg has been a key contributor to the Rough Guide to West Africa.
