For those looking to dodge the plummeting temperatures in the UK as winter draws near, a West African country offers the ideal getaway.<\/p>\n

The Gambia has risen through the ranks of tourist destinations for its incredible weather, beautiful views and as a way of becoming accustomed to African culture.<\/p>\n

However, it is still seeking to shake off a rather unfortunate association with older British women heading to the country in search of\u00a0readily available toy boys.<\/p>\n

The Gambia experiences almost uninterrupted sunshine and practically zero rainfall.<\/p>\n

From November to June, holidaymakers can experience average maximum temperatures in the low-30s, making it one of the best times to go visit.<\/p>\n

There is also a variety of accommodation options to choose from.<\/p>\n

These range from 5-star holidays retreat with four-figure costs for a week of luxury, to far cheaper deals.<\/p>\n

Tourists can even grab themselves\u00a0a lodge floating on the River Gambia or a stylish eco-retreat.<\/p>\n

The official language of The Gambia is also English, making communication easier.<\/p>\n

It’s also known as a “soft introduction to Africa”, according to travel agents The Gambia Experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Their website reads: “In many countries in Africa, the multi-sensory, vibrant atmosphere which accompanies day-to-day life can prove slightly overwhelming, or certainly not rejuvenating.<\/p>\n

“In The Gambia however, you\u2019ll encounter a more relaxed, laid-back pace of life.<\/p>\n

“Culture shocks are commonplace when visiting developing countries, but the friendly locals will put you at ease as soon as you see their big smiles.”<\/p>\n

The Gambia gained independence in 1965 and is known around the world as \u2018The Smiling Coast\u2019 thanks in part to its welcoming population but also thanks to its position on the map, which looks like a smiling mouth.<\/p>\n
