GAMBIA'S CLIMATE & WEATHER


GAMBIA'S CLIMATE
 THE 'GREEN' SEASON - June - Sept


One of the greatest assets of The Gambia is it's amazing climate.  The Gambia has two distinct seasons - the dry season & the 'green' season.
 

From October to May (dry season), The Gambia is considered one of the best winter-sun holiday destinations renowned for consistent sunny days, cool sea breezes & very pleasant sub-tropical temperatures.  But not only is it an admired winter holiday destination, The Gambia is now also becoming an increasingly popular summer holiday destination too.

From June to September
('green' season) The Gambia is blessed with it's summertime rains most of which fall during the evening in short but intense bursts especially in June and July when the intermittent rains have just begun.  The heaviest rain falls during August and September where thunderstorms are more frequent & humidity is high
yet not spoiling the enjoyment of the country by it's visiting tourists. These life-giving waters transform Gambia's plant life into a lush, tropical, green paradise. 

For the adventurous traveler who is seeking to escape busy, crowded Mediterranean summer holiday resorts will find The Gambia a perfect exotic holiday alternative offering a relaxed, peaceful  atmosphere & outstanding scenic beauty & not forgetting, of course, it's excellent fishing.

Why not take advantage of our June/July Tarpon Fishing Holiday package which includes: 5 day's inshore tarpon fishing plus 7nts luxury accommodation.
