The Gambia is a very small and narrow African country with the border based on the Gambia River. The country is less than 48 kilometres (30 mi) wide at its greatest width. The country's present boundaries were defined in 1889 after an agreement between the United Kingdom and France. It is often claimed by Gambians that the distance of the borders from the Gambia River corresponds to the area that British naval cannon of the time could reach from the river's channel. However, there is no historical evidence to support the story, and the border was actually delineated using careful surveying methods by the Franco-British boundary commission. The Gambia is almost an enclave of Senegal and is the smallest country on mainland Africa.

  • Gambia liegt an der Westküste des afrikanischen Kontinents und ist mit 11.295 km² dessen kleinster Flächenstaat. Die ungefähr 740 Kilometer lange Grenze, in einer Vereinbarung zwischen Frankreich und England im Jahre 1888 festgelegt und seit 1891 unverändert, folgt auf einer Länge von etwa 480 km sowie einer Breite zwischen 10 und 50 km dem Verlauf des Gambia-Flusses. Abgesehen vom Küstenabschnitt ist Gambia vom zwanzigmal größeren Senegal umschlossen. Häufig wird das Land als eine Enklave bezeichnet, was aber nach der Definition inkorrekt ist. (de)

  • La Gambie est un pays très étroit, qui s’étend de part et d’autre du fleuve Gambie. Sa largeur maximale n’excède pas 48 km. Un traité entre la France et le Royaume-Uni a défini les frontières actuelles en 1889. La Gambie est un pays côtier de l'océan Atlantique, avec son arrière-pays qui a la particularité d'être enclavé dans le Sénégal. (fr)
  • Il Gambia è un piccolo e stretto paese dell'Africa occidentale che geograficamente si estende lungo il fiume Gambia. Il paese ha una superficie di 11.300 km² e misura solamente 48 chilometri nel punto di massima larghezza. Gli attuali confini del paese vennero definiti nel 1889 dopo un accordo tra il Regno Unito e la Francia. A parte la sua breve linea di costa che si affaccia sull'Oceano Atlantico, è un'enclave del Senegal e di gran lunga il più piccolo paese dell'Africa continentale.Il clima è tropicale, con la stagione delle piogge che va da novembre fino a maggio.
