Kololi — and the adjoining areas of Senegambia, Bijilo and Kotu — make up The Gambia's main tourist strip. If you're on a package holiday from Europe, this is almost certainly where you'll be staying.
The Senegambia Strip
The "Senegambia Strip" is the kilometre-long road that runs inland from the Senegambia Beach Hotel. It's lined with restaurants, bars, supermarkets, taxi ranks and money changers. It's the easiest place to find dinner, drinks and onward transport.
Beaches
Kololi Beach, Kotu Beach and Bijilo Beach are all walkable from the strip. Bijilo, just south, is the quietest. Kotu, with its lagoon and bird-rich estuary, is best for birders.
Bijilo Forest Park
A 51-hectare patch of coastal forest just south of Kololi, home to red colobus, vervet and patas monkeys. Two hours and a small entrance fee.
