Despite an economic malaise, The Gambia is characterised by a low crime rate. Combined with the consistently warm friendliness of the people, the country gives every traveller to The Gambia a secure feeling of being welcome. The smallest country on the entire African continent is focussing entirely on tourism in 2021/22. The Gambians are very friendly and helpful. There is a lot of smiling and even more laughter in The Gambia. Religions live in peaceful coexistence, a role model for the world.
What distinguishes The Gambia from other countries?
The population of Africa’s smallest country is considered to be really warm and friendly. Time and again, a white person is asked ‘From where do you come from Sir?’ and if you then answer that you come from Europe or even from the German-speaking countries, you are sure to gain the sympathy of the Africans.
There are no restrictions regarding corona. People go to the beach *especially on Sundays*, children play in the sand everywhere and it all makes a very relaxed impression. In addition, the sun shines almost 4000 hours per calendar year.
Gambia holidaymakers help the people
Tourism is important! The country lacks alternative sources of income. There are a number of hotels in The Gambia that seem to be on the verge of a boom and there are also guesthouses and hotels that have successfully defied the crisis in 2020 and 2021 to date.
Why do the authors recommend Dabo House?
First of all, I would like to take a closer look at the small but highly recommended DABO HOUSE guest house. If you look at the rankings in the booking engines, the good values are probably the best advertisement for Dabo House. The owners are from Sweden and the staff are from Gambia. Everything is arranged according to the guests’ wishes, whether dinner or breakfast, this is real hospitality.
The pool is wonderfully relaxing and there are loungers around the pool for sunbathing and relaxing. Guests can pick some mangoes themselves, at least in the mango season. The rooms have good beds and the location is central yet quiet. Favourable prices for board and lodging.
Conclusion: Visit The Gambia and stay for a few days at Dabo House for wonderful relaxing holidays…
