HOW TO REACH AND TRAVEL THROUGH THE GAMBIA
Taxis-brousses allow to reach Dakar in Banjul, which can be quite long because of the formalities. Once in the Gambia, you can use the minibuses, which circulate in rural areas, or the “large coaches”, the 32-seat Mercédès bus, which is the cheapest means of transport … but also the slowest. We also use pick-ups and seven-seater taxis, armed with patience and making a cross on its comfort. The bike can be a very good solution given the flat terrain and the short distances, and provided to be very careful. In the towns, there are horse-drawn carriages and carriages, but also minibuses and taxis.
