The
Gambia River
The Gambia River (formerly known as the River Gambra) is a major
river in West Africa, running 1,130 kilometres (700 mi) from the
Fouta Djallon plateau in north Guinea westward through Senegal and
the Gambia to the Atlantic Ocean at the city of Banjul. It is navigable
for about half that length.
The river is
strongly associated with the Gambia, the smallest country in mainland
Africa, which consists of little more than the downstream half of
the river and its two banks.
