The Gambia

Senegal–The Gambia express connection

This one-day concept links Senegal and The Gambia only when a practical early flight or approved border itinerary can be confirmed. Begin with a short orientation in Dakar, complete the scheduled country connection and finish with a locally guided introduction in Banjul / Kololi. It is an express travel day rather than a full tour of both countries; the exact timing, baggage rules, entry documents and pickup teams must appear in the final quotation.
