Gambia

What's the weather like in The Gambia in September?

Gambia is a small country, beautifully set along a river of the same name. A fascinating West African location with an array of beautiful beaches, it has hot weather all year round, making it ideal for enjoying sandy stretches. There’s a rainy season from June to October, so September’s one of the wettest months of the year. If you’re visiting Gambia at this time you’ll need to come prepared, but there’s still plenty of sunshine for you to enjoy too.
