The Gambia Experience
(5-star AITO) is the market leader of the tour operators
to Gambia whose parent company is Serenity Holidays
Ltd. Serenity was established in 1984 and was bought
in 1987 by an Isle of Man accountant Stephen Wilde and
his wife Sandra, who launched Gambia Experience in the
same year. They started by offering a few seats a week.
Today, they have more flights from Britain and more
hotels offered than by any other tour operator; its
resort staff is the largest and most knowledgeable and
its commitment to the country is unsurpassed. In 2008
they celebrated 20 years of travelling to The Gambia.
Over the past 20 years the owners, Stephen & Sandra
Wilde, along with their staff, have developed a large
knowledge of The Gambia, building relationships with
hoteliers and can now offer many properties or room
types exclusively. They have a permanent team in The
Gambia and UK based staff regularly visit the country.
Some members of staff have worked for the company for
over 18 years.
After the bloodless coup of 1994 all the other tour
operators evacuated their tourist clients out of the
country and cancelled their hotel contracts
. Only The Gambia Experience remained operating a once
weekly flight from the UK.
Also after the September 11th attack in New York
when all the operators except Thomson reduced losses
by cutting back their programmes, the company increased
their capacity and introduced 1 more flight from Bristol
Airport.
Local Initiatives:
In and around the Banjul
suburbs it has provided road signs in the company colours
of green, yellow and burgundy.
Over 12 schools have been built and equipped with funds
raised the the company. Under an ongoing School Development
Project now in its 20th year.
In April 2008 they presented six cheques amounting to
D352,600.00 to six schools in the country. The annual
donation forms part of the money collected from company's
customers as its contribution towards funding school
projects in the country
