About Us
The Gambia
by locals
for tourist
Smiling Coast Experience is guaranteed to be 100% Gambian and anything you spend on tours is for the Gambian economy and people. Smiling Coast Experience helps support Smiling Coast Foundation which provides opportunities and solutions for The Gambia.
The tours and excursions offered by the bigger companies are often in a bus or large truck with 20 to 40 people. The schedule is fixed and the tourists are guided along the same things where you have no influence at all on how long you want to visit a specific location. In contrast, with us as a driver and guide you have all the flexibility you need and it’s up to you if you want to stay a bit longer when you see something that interests you, or where you want to go next.
So if you value sustainable development in The Gambia, you are at the right address with us. We also provide low barrier solutions in which you can be a part of change for example: Volunteer work or playing soccer with the kids from a village nearby.
