Bijilo is a secluded, tranquil resort, just five miles west of the capital Banjul. Bijilo’s attractive hotels lead onto the beautiful sandy shores of the Atlantic Ocean with spectacular views, memorable sunsets, and plenty of day-tripping opportunities. The famous Bijilo Forest Park is open all year round, and is home to several species of monkey and a wide variety of birds. Signposted trails amongst the rich vegetation and towering termite mounds offer an exciting landscape for enthusiastic walkers. At nearby Kololi town there is a bustling local market and plenty of restaurants to choose from along the main road. This neighbouring resort also offers spirited nightlife thanks to a selection of bars and nightclubs serving cold beers and tropical cocktails into the early hours. The city of Banjul is great for gift shopping and museums re-telling The Gambia’s fascinating history. Bijilo is just 15 km from Yundum International Airport.
