A few interesting facts: Inland, the broad 300-mile long Gambia river dominates life today as it has done for centuries. Hippos languish where previously slave traders plied their trade. An international crossroads for migration, the birdlife in The Gambia is amongst the richest in the world and boasts over 540 species.
For the sport fisherman, the river is home to a number of noted fighting fresh water fish including Tiger fish and other localised species.
Visit a local village and see how the rural way of life has remained virtually unchanged. The Gambia has been inhabited for thousands of years. Hanno from Carthage first described the river in 480BC, the Romans were also known to explore the region and in a map by Ptolemy the river Gambia's course into the interior is quite accurately shown.
The Portuguese, who introduced groundnut cultivation in The Gambia were fought by the French and British for control of the slave trade and later the British fought them both to stop the trade. In 1826 Fort Bullen, was built on the Northern bank of the Gambia river opposite the British post of Bathhurst now Banjul to control the entrance of the river estuary, and until 1965 Gambia was run as a crown colony by the British. |
