The Gambia is a small West African country, bordered by Senegal and with a narrow coastline along the Atlantic Ocean. It’s known for the varied ecosystems of the Gambia River, which flows through the center of the country. The abundant wildlife of Kiang West National Park and the Bao Bolong Wetland Reserve includes monkeys, leopards, hippos, hyenas, and rare birds.
