Hibiscus House Gambia


	The Gambia is one of the smallest countries in Africa, but profits from a continuous untouched coastline and beautiful sandy beaches. The Gambia benefits from all year round sun, November to July being the peak season and is just 6 hours flight from Europe with no time difference. The air is clean and fresh, the sea is well stocked with wonderful fish and everyone you meet is always prepared to give you a smile. Hibiscus House is located 5 minutes from the beach and 15 minutes from the airport.
