Lonely Planet the Gambia & Senegal

The Gambia, a long, slender country straddling the Gambia River from the Atlantic coast inland, and Senegal, which surrounds it, are two of tropical Africa's most accessible countries. In a new guidebook devoted to the popular pair, travelers will find valuable information on restaurants, accommodations and transportation options to suit any budget or taste. This guide also offers extensive coverage of national parks and wildlife refuges and gives the lowdown on beaches, water sports, cycling and other activities. A 32-page color section on the region's fabulous bird life complements the details on its history and culture. Includes language sections for both countries.
