The Stone Circles of The Gambia, particularly those at Wassu, form part of a UNESCO World Heritage site showcasing remarkable megalithic structures dating back over 1,000 years. Accessibility may be limited due to the site's remote location and potentially uneven terrain. While solo visits are possible, a guided tour is highly recommended to fully understand the history and significance of the circles. There are no significant seasonal restrictions, though the dry season (November to May) may offer more comfortable travel conditions. The cost of visiting is relatively low, mainly encompassing transportation and guide fees. A typical visit lasts a few hours, allowing ample time to explore the site and learn about its cultural importance. Be sure to bring water and sun protection, as shade is limited.
