The Gambia Experience adds flights from Manchester
The Gambia Experience has added a new winter flight from Manchester in response to demand.
The service, to Banjul, will run every Monday from December 16 until April 27.
The Gambia Experience product manager Karen Durham said: "As the UK’s Gambia’s specialist for 32 years we have built up an extensive choice of holidays and experiences, reflecting the diversity of the destination and we look forward to welcoming holidaymakers from across the Manchester region."
Manchester Airport aviation director Julian Carr said: "Gambia has been an increasingly popular destination for our passengers over the last few years."
Options include package, flight-only and tailormade holidays; multi-centres combining wildlife and beach resorts; group and private excursions as well as neighbouring Senegal.
New for this winter are cruise holidays on the River Gambia aboard the Harmony V Mega Yacht.
Prices start at £699 per person for seven nights at the Kombo Beach Hotel, Kotu.
