Holidays in Essau

Essau is a place that has heaps of cool stories to tell. If you reckon your life's been a bit dull lately, a trip here is the perfect answer!

From Essau, venture around 170 kilometres northwest to discover the well-known city of Dakar.

Is there anything more soothing than enjoying a cool breeze beside the water? Visit Cape Point Beach or Bakau Beach for a magnificent day out.

You'll find some natural sights outside of Essau. Why not set out 10 kilometres to Niumi National Park? Alternatively, explore nature's artwork at Abuko National Park, 15 kilometres away.

Make your stay an enlightening one by learning the history of Fort Bullen.

If you can't imagine a holiday without some exciting sports action, investigate the event schedule at Independence Stadium. It's likely something will be on while you're in town. You'll find the venue 14 kilometres away in Bakau.

Expand your horizons and find out what's going on in Banjul, 6 kilometres to the southwest. Plenty of visitors come here for State House and the Arch 22. Alternatively, Bakau is 14 kilometres to the west of Essau. Stop at this place for easy access to Bakau Kachikally and Kololi Beach.

Whether it's for a bit of shopping or to see the sights, travellers often make their way to Tanji, 30 kilometres to the southwest. Tanji Bird Reserve, Tanji River Bird Reserve and Tunbung Arts Village are all nearby. Of course, don't pass up Brufut and the Tanji Village Museum either.

Your eyes shouldn't get to have all the fun while visiting Banjul - Gambia. Give your taste buds a little attention too by indulging in the local food and drink. After all, you can't say you've truly experienced a destination until you've tasted its flavours.

If you're perusing a menu, there's a strong chance you'll see dishes with couscous or palm oil. They're some ingredients typically used in the kitchens here.

There's no need to dither over the menu while in Essau. Jump straight in and order the local specialties, such as chicken yassa (fried chicken in onions) and supakanja (okra stew).

Travel calories don't count, right? So it's a great excuse to treat yourself to bread and coconut cake, a popular dessert.

There's bound to be excitement in the air leading up to the 18th of February. The locals will be getting themselves ready for Independence Day, a day of nation-wide celebrations.

If you're catching a plane home, it's probably a wise idea to map out a route to the terminal before leaving. From the middle of Essau, you'll need to go about 170 kilometres northwest to Leopold Sedar Senghor International Airport (DKR), the closest airport.
