The Republic of The Gambia’s total land boundary is 465.4 mi (749 km) long. It shares its entire land border with Senegal (465.4 mi or 749 km). Except for the western coast on the Atlantic Ocean, The country is surrounded by Senegal. The country has 49.7 mi (80 km) of coastline.<\/p>\n

The mean elevation of Gambia is 111.5 ft (34 m). The country’s highest point is an unnamed elevation point (with a height of at least 173.9 ft or 53 m to 210 ft or 64 m), which lies between Sabi and the Senegalese village named V\u00e9lingara (located in a sandstone plateau at the Senegal border). The lowest point is the Atlantic Ocean at 0 ft (0 m).<\/p>\n

The Gambia River dominates the geomorphology of The Gambia. The Gambia River stretches 700 miles (1,130 km) from northwestern Guinea to the Atlantic Ocean at Banjul city. The Gambia is a small and narrow country that is less than 30 miles (48.3 km) wide at its widest point. A grassy flood plain having Guinean mangroves (located closer to the coastline) can be found in the rest of the country’s terrain.<\/p>\n

The highest mountains in the country are Mamayungebi Hill, Alligator Rock, Kassang Hill, Konkoba Hill, etc.<\/p>\n

Major rivers of the country are Gambia River, Massarinko Bolon, Oyster Creek, Cape Creek, Kotu Stream, River Tanji, Tujering River, River Benifet, Allahein River and their tributaries.<\/p>\n
