GAMBIA'S CLIMATE & WEATHER
3 day weather forecast - updated daily

One of the greatest assets of The Gambia is it's amazing climate.  The Gambia has two distinct seasons - the dry season & the wet season.  

From October to April (dry season), The Gambia is considered one of the best winter-sun holiday destinations renowned for consistent sunny days, cool sea breezes & very pleasant sub-tropical temperatures.  Not only is The Gambia an admired winter holiday destination, it is now also becoming an increasingly popular summer holiday destination too.

From May to September (wet season, & often referred to as the green season) The Gambia is blessed with it's summertime rains, most of which fall during the evening in short but intense bursts. The rains are intermittent in May, June and July with the heaviest rain falling in August and September yet not spoiling the enjoyment of the country. These life-giving waters transform Gambia's plant life into a lush, tropical, green paradise.  This makes The Gambia a perfect summertime holiday alternative
for an adventurous tourist who is seeking to escape the busy, crowded Mediterranean holiday resorts.

As well as the daily boat charters, we offer a green season summertime fishing and accommodation package which incorporates 3 days boat charter fishing with 7 nts accommodation at the Ngala Lodge -
