Gambia

The Gambia is a tiny sliver of land in western Africa. It is located on either side of the River Gambia, enclosed to the north, south and east by Senegal, and to the west by the Atlantic Ocean. The main attraction for most Europeans is the excellent climate and comparatively short journey time compared with Caribbean destinations.

Kenya

The first visit was via Nairobi to the coastal town of Malindi, staying at Scorpio Villas. After venturing south to the Watamu Marine Park and the reef to do some snorkeling, I headed inland to see wildlife in the Tsavo East game reserve. One night was spent at the unusual Salt Lick Safari Lodge, and the other was spent at the Taita Hills Safari Lodge.
The second visit was a beach holiday, based in Malindi, but with trips south to the beautiful reef at Watamu for snorkelling.

Tunisia

Tunisia is located in North Africa, and was my first non-European travel destination. Most of the time was spent at the coastal town of Monastir, near Sousse, but I also travelled north to Tunis, and south to El Djem, Matmata, Tataouine, Sfax and Gabes.
