The Gambia, officially known as the Republic of the Gambia, is located on the west coast of Africa. It's the smallest country on the African mainland, with a population of just over 2 million people. The Gambia is surrounded by Senegal on all sides, except for its western coast where it meets the Atlantic Ocean. The country's unique location places it along the Gambia River, which flows through the heart of the country and into the Atlantic Ocean.

The capital city is Banjul, a bustling port city that sits on an island at the mouth of the Gambia River. However, the most populous area is Serekunda, located 13 km southwest of the capital, known for its vibrant markets and lively atmosphere.

The Gambia’s rich culture is a blend of various ethnic groups, each contributing to the country’s diverse traditions, music, and cuisine. The nation’s beauty includes pristine beaches along its coastline and wetlands along the riverbanks. This makes it a fascinating destination for both cultural and nature enthusiasts.
