Voice of Travelers to Gambia
Amazing Gambian experience
I am from Morocco. It was the first time that I booked a ticket to Gambia. I flew with Brussels Airlines and the on board service was great. We arrived safely and without any problems. Once in Gambia, I had a very nice vacation. The transport, beaches and hotels were very good. I would recommend that tourists book a ticket to Gambia when visiting Africa to explore this beautiful country.
Nice holiday in Gambia. The ticket was so cheap
I booked my ticket with Lufthansa from Dakar. This was the third time that I booked my ticket to Gambia. The onboard services were good because I was flying on a first class air ticket. My stay in Gambia was short but I had a great time. I have visited the country before and this time I stayed at the Seaview Garden Hotel. The hotel was well managed, clean, and the food was so tasty. Staying at this hotel is very good option if you have booked a ticket to Gambia.
