The Gambia River (formerly known as the River Gambra) is a major river in West Africa, running 1,120 kilometres from the Fouta Djallon plateau located in north Guinea, after which flows westward through Senegal and The Gambia to the Atlantic Ocean at the city of Banjul. The river is strongly associated with The Gambia, the smallest country in mainland Africa, which consists of little more than the downstream half of the river and its two banks. The Gambia is situated on both sides of the lower reaches of the Gambia River, the nation's namesake.
