Saga have introduced two brand new hotels to its portfolio, offering two fantastic value holidays in The Gambia, staying at the Kombo Beach Hotel Kotu or The Kairaba Beach Hotel Kololi.

With a flight time of just under 6 hours, this relatively undiscovered gem nestled on Africa’s western Atlantic coast, offers a fantastic alternative for a spot of glorious winter sunshine.

Included on both holidays guests can enjoy a city tour of Banjul and a River Cruise along the tributaries of the Gambia River offering the opportunity to discover Africa’s exotic wildlife and vibrant culture.

Both holidays also include Saga’s VIP door to door travel service, including the option of domestic flights, ensuring guests are taken from their door step to their next adventure, completely hassle free.

Abdoulie Hydara, the Director General of The Gambia Tourism Board, commented:

“The Gambia is extremely excited about the arrival of Saga Holidays and looks forward to welcoming their guests to the destination. Although a small country, The Gambia has a variety of activities, beautiful scenery, diverse wildlife and a rich culture that will ensure every visitor is kept busy. The hotels Saga Holidays is working with are in exciting locations and offer a wonderful mix of beaches and nature. We hope their guests will enjoy all that ‘the smiling coast of Africa’ has to offer.”
