The Gambia holidays by Cox & Kings

The smallest country in Africa, measuring a mere 500km in length and 50km wide, The Gambia was granted independence from Great Britain in 1965 and is surrounded by its much larger neighbour Senegal.

The country takes its name from the Gambia river, which bisects the country’s entire length as it flows on its way to the ocean. Known for its alluring Atlantic coastline with golden sandy beaches, luxurious beach resorts and bustling fishing villages, the country also boasts a number of stunning nature reserves and important historical sites.

Ms Christine Smith"

"I am writing to say how much we enjoyed our trip to India...You were right in saying that we had a busy itinerary but we really enjoyed the whole experience. We appreciated your efforts in planning our journey and were particularly pleased with the choice of rooms and hotels you had arranged for us to stay in.
Mr Browne"

"The ordinary people of India were an inspiration in themselves with their poise, dignity and friendliness in difficult living conditions.
Mr Robin Ross"

"Going to Varanasi which is a unique experience - an amazing combination of devout faith coupled with the madness that is India.
Mrs Anneke Berrill"

Mr and Mrs Moseley"

"There were lots of high points - the Terracotta warriors, the pandas - but my wife's best moment was standing on the Great Wall, and reflecting on what had gone into building it. Mine was the spectacular scenery of the Goddess Stream during our Yangtse river trip.
Mr Andrew Slater"

"The high plains (Alto Plano) were fantastic to experience and to see the people who survived there. View down into Chivay was very impressive. Drive up to Macchu Pichu was hairy but well worth it - the views were breathtaking at the top. Train from Puno to Cusco was very very enjoyable. We were not looking forward to a 10 hour train ride but thoroughly enjoyed it. Peru Rail staff very well turned out and very helpful and service on train excellent.
Mr Roger Cockle"

"The knowledge of our safari ranger and tracker was amazing. To see the animals at such close range, yet in a natural surrounding was unbelievable. We saw a lioness stalk and kill her prey which was sad yet incredible, after all it is what happens for their survival. The elephant drinking out of our plunge pool outside our lodge was the icing on the cake. The food and menus at the Great Fish River Lodge was excellent. I cannot fault the accommodation, food, or the staff they were fabulous.
Mrs Margaret Lambelle"

"I would like to tell you that it was a wonderful trip. Thank you for organising it so well.
Mr Boag"

"There were almost too many highlights to single out just one. However, I would have to include the first sight of the Taj Mahal in any shortlist. There were so many other wondrous buildings. We also greatly enjoyed the trip to the local village in Jaipur as it gave us a better insight as to how the rural community live.
Mrs Gwendoline Wilkins"
