The Gambia is situated on the West African coast, an English speaking former British colony, just 6 hours flying from London and the same GMT, so no jetlag. It has so much to offer all year round from its unsophisticated charm, deserted palm fringed beaches, tropical gardens and nature reserves. Wonderful sandy beaches, friendly people and exotic culture and value for money.

    ATOL licence details

    This holiday is operated by Serenity Holidays Ltd. (trading as 'The Gambia Experience' and 'Corsican Place'), who hold ATOL licence number 1866

    What is ATOL and what can it do for me?

    lastminute.com only works with tour operators who have an ATOL licence!

    "ATOL" means an "Air Travel Organiser's Licence" granted by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). Firms selling air travel in the UK are required by law to hold ATOLS. ATOLs protect you from losing money, or being stranded abroad, when travel firms go bust.

    Before any firm gets an ATOL, it has to lodge guarantees with the CAA: if it goes out of business, the CAA gives refunds to people who can't travel, and pays for people abroad to finish their holidays and fly home. This protection is included in the price of a holiday booked with an ATOL-holder. Please note ATOL Travel Protection extends primarily to customers who book and pay in the UK.


    The Gambia Experience & Corsican place

    (whose offices are at Cutter House, 1560 Parkway
    Solent Business Park, Fareham, HANTS, PO15 7AG), are members of ABTA, ATOL

    Below is a copy of the tour operators terms and conditions as per their brochure:

    (i) FAIR TRADING CHARTER - This Fair Trading Charter forms the basis of your contract with Serenity Holidays Ltd, fully bonded with the CAA and a member of ABTA, trading as The Gambia Experience & Corsican Place. Please read this carefully as it sets out our respective rights and obligations

    OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU

    1. Provision of your holiday

    'The Gambia Experience'/'Corsican Place' are operated by Serenity Holidays Ltd. We are committed to a policy of fair trading and make every effort to ensure that you will have an enjoyable holiday with us. Our terms of trade have been formulated as a result of our responsibilities under law and in no way affect your statutory rights as a consumer. We accept responsibility for the quality of the holidays we provide and the excursions booked with our local representatives 

    2. Your reservation
    When either you or your travel agent telephones our reservations department to make a confirmed booking we will allocate your chosen holiday to you and give verbal acceptance of the booking by quoting a booking reference and issue our confirmation invoice. It is then that a firm contract exists between you and Serenity Holidays Ltd on the terms of the information in this brochure and details set out in the confirmation invoice. The invoice will state the outstanding payments due, no further reminder will be sent. All holidays and offers published in this brochure are subject to availability at the time of booking.
    3. Prices and surcharges

    Prices include return flights from the UK, airport taxes, APD of £20 (£40 Premium Flights) and security charges, shared transfers (excluding flight only) from Banjul Airport to your hotel and return and the services of our overseas representative. They are based on two people sharing the basic twin room type in the hotel. Prices in this brochure are based on exchange rates published on 1st April 2004 at 50 Dalasi per £1.

    Due to uncertainty in travel costs, once you have booked your holiday we reserve the right to surcharge for cost increases due to government action such as changes in VAT or any other government imposed changes. We will absorb such increases up to the greater of £10, or 2% of your holiday price. If the surcharge is greater than 10% of your holiday price you will have the right to cancel (within 14 days of receiving surcharge notification) and receive a full refund from ourselves.

    We will not impose any surcharge on holidays which have been paid in full.
    The prices and offers printed in this edition are valid at time of publication in April 2004. We reserve the right to increase or reduce any of these prices or amend these offers any time after publication and in future editions. You will be advised of any changes at the time of booking.
    4. Your flight
    We reserve the right to change airline or aircraft at any time. Cancellation by you for these reasons will be subject to cancellation charges. We would like to guarantee that our departures will not be delayed and the majority of them do depart on time. Unfortunately though delays sometimes occur. These are completely outside our control and we work closely with the airlines and our Gambia office to make sure any delay is as short as possible and that your overseas transfer and accommodation arrangements are changed if necessary. Our aim is to minimise the inconvenience of delays as far as possible. 
    5. If we change your holiday

    The holiday arrangements detailed are made many months in advance and though it is unlikely, circumstances can change and therefore we reserve the right to make changes at any time. Most changes are of a minor nature (see below) and you will be advised as soon as is reasonably possible, provided there is time before your departure. If a major change (see below) becomes necessary we will again advise you at the earliest possible date, provided there is time before departure and you will have the choice of:

    a) accepting the new arrangements
    b) cancelling the holiday in return for a full refund 

    Irrespective of whether you choose a) or b) we will pay to passengers who paid the full brochure price compensation as follows: 

    Period before scheduled departure within which a MAJOR change is notified to you

    Compensation per full fare paying passenger

    More than 42 days

    Nil

    29-42 days

    £15

    7-28 days

    £30

    Less than 7 days

    £50

    IMPORTANT NOTICE:
    A MINOR change is one that involving a change of aircraft type, carrier or flight departure time of less than 12 hours or a change or withdrawal of facilities offered by a hotel. We consider a MAJOR change is one involving a change of departure airport, time of departure or return by more than twelve hours, but not a flight delay as this is covered under our insurance policy; substitution of accommodation of a lower classification as given in our brochure. Compensation payments do not apply to any changes caused by force majeure (war, threat of war, riots, civil commotion, terrorist activity, industrial disputes, natural or nuclear disasters, fire, technical problems, closure or congestion of airports, cancellation or changes by scheduled airlines or other such events outside our control).
    6. If we cancel your holiday
    We reserve the right in any circumstances to cancel your holiday and, in this event, we will return to you all money you have paid to us or will offer you an alternative holiday to purchase of comparable standard. In no case, except for reasons of war etc. (see no. 5 above) will your holiday be cancelled less than 8 weeks before the scheduled departure date. For tours and special interest holidays we offer, we reserve the right to cancel any one up to 8 weeks prior to departure if the minimum number of 8 is not reached.
    7. What happens to complaints?
    In the unlikely event that a complaint cannot be settled amicably between us, you may wish to refer the matter to arbitration under a special scheme, which, though devised by arrangement with the Association of British Travel Agents is administered quite independently by the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. The scheme (details on request) provides for a simple and inexpensive method of arbitration on documents alone with restricted liability on the customer in respect of costs. Alternatively, AITO's Independent Dispute Settlement Service (again, details on request) may be called upon by either side to bring the matter to a speedy and amicable solution. Whichever option you choose, neither scheme applies to claims for an amount greater than £5000 per person/£25,500 per booking nor to claims which are solely or mainly in respect of physical injury or illness or the consequences of such injury or illness. The rules of the schemes provide that the application for arbitration must be made within nine months of the date of return from the holiday but in special circumstances it may still be offered outside the period.
    For Irish Residents. Our nominated agents for the purpose of accepting proceedings in the Republic of Ireland are: Beauchamps Solicitors, Dollard House, Wellington Quay, Dublin 2 Ref SOA/BJ
    8. Personal injury (Whilst participating in arrangements made by us).

    We have taken all reasonable and proper steps to ensure that proper arrangements have been made for all the holidays which are advertised in this brochure and for excursions and that the suppliers of various services which will be provided to you as part of the inclusive holiday are efficient, safe and reputable businesses and that they comply with local and national laws and regulations of The Gambia. We have no direct control over the provision of services to clients by suppliers. However, subject to the Note below, we will pay to our clients the equivalent of such damages as they would be entitled to receive under English law in an English court for any personal injury to the client, including illness or death caused by negligence, as understood in English law, of the servants or agents of ourselves or of any of our suppliers contracted or sub-contracted by us to provide any part of the arrangements for your holiday as detailed in this brochure or excursions, except for air transportation arrangements for which separate conditions apply (See no. 7 Your Ticket Conditions).
    Note: We will make payments as stated above providing (a) the injured client has notified us of any claim for personal injury within 3 months of their return from holiday; (b) they assign to Serenity Holidays Limited any rights against a supplier or any other person or party they may have relating to the claim; and (c) they agree to co-operate fully with us should we or our insurers wish to enforce those rights which have been assigned to us or to which we are subrogated. This assignment is necessary to enable us to try to recover from suppliers any compensation paid to clients and associated costs as a result of personal injury to clients caused by the negligence of suppliers. 

    9. Personal injury (Unconnected with arrangements with us)
    If any client suffers personal injury, including illness or death whilst overseas, arising out of an activity which does not form part of the inclusive holiday arrangements offered by this company and which is the responsibility of a third party, we will give you help in your resolving of any claim you may have against that third party. This help will include the provision of translation services, communications with authorities and others in foreign resorts, the recommending of foreign lawyers (if needed), explanation of procedures to be followed and the notification to you of any time limits, subject to our spending on all such activities on behalf of yourself and your party a maximum of £5,000 in total. If you have taken the recommended TAG insurance cover, you must make an insurance claim under the Legal Expenses section in respect of any legal fees incurred abroad for that purpose and if you have taken alternative insurance, you must do likewise under any Legal Expenses cover provided by it. You must also provide us with the confirmation from the insurance company of receipt of you notification to them of your claim.
    YOUR COMMITMENT TO THE GAMBIA EXPERIENCE 
    1. Booking form and payment
    Your booking on this website is conditional on you accepting our terms and conditions. If you do not agree with any part of them, you must not proceed with your booking. By proceeding with the booking, you accept that you have read, understood and accepted our terms. If there is any part that you do not fully understand, or if you have a query, please telephone us on 0845 3302044. The person making the booking accepts the terms on behalf of all those party to the booking.

    Payment for bookings made via our website is required, in full, at the time of booking. The contract is made on the terms of the information on our website, our terms and conditions and the details set out in the confirmation invoice and are governed by English Law English Law under the instruction of the English Courts. On receipt of our confirmation invoice it is important you check that all the details on the confirmation are correct, and if not, you must advise us immediately.
    2. Travel insurance
    You agree to our requirement that at the time of booking your holiday you either accept our special travel insurance or you or your agent make immediate alternative arrangements with cover at least equal to our own policy
    3. Before you book
    It is the responsibility of clients to ensure they have a valid passport and any required visa. In addition, you must consult your GP for advice regarding recommended medication and anti-malarial drugs, before you book.
    4. If you wish to change your booking
    All amendments requested to your booking e.g. name changes, dates of departure or accommodation, will incur a charge the amount of which will depend on the nature of the change and the time before the date of travel. If all names change on any booking, then cancellation charges will apply. Any alterations made within 8 weeks of departure may be treated as cancellations and re-bookings. 
    6. If you have a complaint
    In the unlikely event you have cause for complaint whilst abroad you must refer it to our local representative as soon as possible to enable them to resolve any problems immediately while you are still on holiday. It is unreasonable for you to take little or no action whilst on holiday and wait until your return to complain. If a problem cannot be resolved locally you must complete and sign a Report form in resort setting out the details of the problem. This should be handed to your representative who will give you a copy and it is essential that you also report the problem to any supplier of the service you are complaining about. You must then follow up your report by writing to our UK office within 28 days of return from the resort. We regret that complaints outside this period cannot be accepted. 
    7. Your ticket conditions
    When you travel with an air carrier, their Conditions of Carriage apply, some of which limit or exclude liability in accordance with the relevant international conventions. Copies of the conditions are available for inspection at any ABTA travel agent. 
    8. Holiday participation
    Should anyone be refused admission to the flight or to the destination country by the airline or government authority then we are powerless to assist and cannot be held responsible. Any passengers considered to be unacceptably under the influence of drink or drugs may be denied boarding to the aircraft or entry into the country. In these circumstances we shall consider the client as having given notice of cancellation and be under no liability for any costs or charges incurred as a result of our doing so.
