Where to find unique souvenirs in The Gambia

TRAVEL
Traveling is about creating experiences, making memories, and sharing them when we return home. If you're the kind of traveler who loves buying souvenirs that hold deep meaning and remind you of a special place, we’ve got some great suggestions for you.

Below, you will find some great companies, projects, and individuals offering unique products in The Gambia.

We believe it's important to view buying souvenirs as a way to support and learn about the communities we visit.

The result of numerous shops and markets flooded with ubiquitous souvenirs is a limited choice of genuine, unique items for travelers, as well as a loss of income for those crafting culturally appropriate souvenirs locally.

We are supporting local producers, makers, and artisans by showcasing them and their products.

By finding and purchasing from them, you’ll be giving back to the community that supports you during your travels. You'll also meet fascinating people and collect more interesting stories to share. Through your shopping, you, as a traveler, can directly contribute to a positive, responsible tourism outcome.

Enjoy shopping and gifting your loved ones!
