Gambia

The Gambia is a developing country in western Africa.  Its capital is Banjul.  The official language is English, but many inhabitants speak indigenous languages such as Wolof or Mandinka.  Facilities for tourism in the Banjul area and along the Atlantic coast south of the Gambia River are good; however, elsewhere, tourist facilities are limited in availability and quality.  Read the Department of State Factsheet on The Gambia for additional information on U.S.-The Gambia relations.
