We have been with gambia experience many many times and love being welcomed to this beautiful country each time by bubba

U all always welcome to the gambia, the smiling coast of Africa and is a peaceful and nice place to be....

Thank you to the amazingly helpful team who arranged our booking at ngala lodges. Nothing was too much trouble and helped to make our holiday special

Returned on the 24th November. Had an amazing time. Informative trips with good guides. Hotel Kombo beach was lovely. Will be returning.

Our 4th holiday to Gambia and cannot fault staff . Unfortunately our 2 week holiday ended abruptly after 5 days because of the unrest ( and our governments advice)

Gambia experience are a really professional company and throughly recommend travelling with them.

Just returned from a great holiday in The Gambia, stayed at The Kairaba and Mandina Lodge - an amazing experience! First class service from The Gambia Experience reps, we also received a mini guide book with our tickets containing discount vouchers for local restaurants. Look forward to returning to The Gambia next year!

Just back after the 20th time in Gambia. Spent 10 days in the Senagambia Beach hotel -( wouldn't go antwhere else- the place is amazing) I have seen many changes over the years, and this place just gets better. I have yet to meet any of the staff in that hotel who have not been helpful when needed. I stayed in one of the superior rooms opposite the 'quiet pool', great location. Special mention to Lamin, the pool attendant & John the lifeguard on beach, always smiling.

Note to Joyce! - In my opinion, Jatta is what makes 'The Gambia' an experience. That man really does care about his guests, nothing is to much trouble, and they are always no.1 to him - no matter whose toes he treads on!

Please, never move him from the Senegambia to somewhere else. He is a credit to you.

I've been to The Gambia 3 times and loved it, weather is amazing and the people are so friendly. Would love to go back, Christmas time is the best time :-)

I've been to Gambia first time last year and we loved it..weather hot but a nice breeze...people are so friendly...we're going again next week...can't wait...

I have just returned after 2 weeks. Flight only. I have to say as a regular traveller to The Gambia for 15 years, this was the best journey ever. Titan Airways are brilliant. Thank you.

Having just returned from a fortnight away in The Gambia, we were incredibly happy with our "Gambian experience". A 6 hour flight with Titan airways was great. Our rep at The Sunbeach hotel Buba J was lovely, knowledgable and incredibly helpful.



We enjoyed 3 tours ( 6 in 1, Roots and Senegal ) with our guide Sherrif and the Discovery tours team and they were all good value for money although the trip to visit Kunta Kinteh island could've done with different timings shared between the mainland and island as were hurried around the island and this was actually the whole point of the tour.( not Sherrifs fault)



We spent 4 days at Mandina lodge. This wasn't at all what we expected and I believe the Gambian experience and Mandina lodge undersell themselves in their marketing. Having been allocated a personal guide for the whole time we were here, taking us on early morning canoe trips and late afternoon walks in the bush, the experience of being so close to nature far exceeded our expectations and was the highlight of our trip.



Highly recommended. Thank you.

Had great customer service from Becky in reservations, i had a twincentre quoted with lots of questions and I was given such great information, advice, all done smoothly in a friendly professional manner, Fabulous service, ~Thankyou. (from Thomas Cook Agent)

Everyone that goes abroad needs to try one holiday in the smiling coast ! With a 6 hour flight guaranteed sunshine no time change ideal winter destination ! Lovely restaurants ( tip only go b &b) and friendly smiling people !

Been there 5 times always a great holiday fantastic weather very happy and friendly people very relaxing highly recommended xx

Beautiful place wonderful people been back few days wish I was there again. Weather fantastic food great cheap to eat out. Enjoyed all the trips.

I did a flight only but was very impressed with the airline extremely efficent at tentative staff free meal soft drinks and a snack plus the seats were bigger than thomas cooks. Well done gambia experience I shall certainly use you again.

The holiday itself was great and karamo was an amazing rep.

The head rep joyce i would avpid more than the mosquitos this lady is rude and exceptionally unhelpful. After losing my luggage she offered no help in any way . Very disapointed with her.

Lost luggage room full of mosquitos and food poisoning.

However i met some amazing gambian people and would go again.

The flight in last week the plane was terrible home yesterday was much better.

Couldn't understand them on mic and didn't spray plane so was eatten alive but apart from that was ok.

But letting people still walk around when seat belt sign was on 2 wasn't good.

Seemed yesterday with what happened wasn't 1 first aided on board was left 2 passengers.

Shame about the stuff they sell 2 all run out by 3rd row even water.

And the twixs £1.50 For large size witch is fine but not on when only giving out the small size.

Apart from that landed safe and well thanks

You need to be changing your airline, they are definately a downgrade on Titan. Their safety checks on take off and landing are none existent, they dont spray the plane so eaten alive by mosquitoes.
