Upon arrival at Banjul International Airport, passengers were warmly welcomed by The Gambia Experience resort team and British High Commissioner, Harriet King, before being treated to a vibrant and welcoming reception from The Jola Cultural Group.

Their energetic drumbeats and colourful costumes set the tone for a memorable holiday, providing an authentic, immersive experience, and first taste of the rich cultural traditions that make The Gambia so special.
