Kanifing and The Greater Banjul Area
The Gambia is one of the smallest countries in Africa, bigger only than the various island nations surrounding the continent. At just under 11,300 square kilometers (5361 square miles), it is about a third of the size of Maryland.
The tiny nation lies on the West Coast of Africa, at a latitude equidistant from the Tropic of Cancer and the Equator. Engulfed on three sides by neighboring Senegal, The Gambia borders the Atlantic Ocean on its fourth side with 60 km (37 miles) of coastline.
Some compare the country's shape to a crooked finger extending 480 km (298 miles) long and averaging of 35 km (22 miles) wide, including The Gambia's namesake, the mangrove-lined Gambia River. Originating from the Guinean highlands, the Gambia River splits the country into a north and south bank, channeling around the several islands in its path.
The capital of The Gambia is Banjul. There are many small towns, like Kanfing, in the Greater Banjul Area.
