Useful advice for travelling to Gambia (GM)

The Gambia, or simply Gambia, is a small African country that is proud of its lengthy water road, beautiful tropical forests, and lively cities. Holiday fights to the Gambia will let you enjoy the slow and peaceful rhythms of local life, adding up to the charm of numerous areas that have barely been touched by the civilisation. Make sure to prepare all you need for your journey, and a carefree holiday trio is guaranteed.

Preparing for the trip

Before heading out, you will need to acquire a visa. You may choose to manage this task yourself by contacting a diplomatic representative of the country or acquiring a permit after you land at the Gambian airport. Your other option is to let your travel agency take care of everything.

Gambia is an endemic yellow fever area, and a vaccination is compulsory. You should also acquire some malaria medicine and get vaccinated against hepatitis A and B, typhoid fever, meningitis, diphtheria, and tetanus.

Transportation and travel charges

The best ways to get better acquainted with Algeria are to use minibuses, lorries, taxis, or means of water transport. You could also choose to rent a bike or a car. However, many local roads are bad quality, and you would really benefit from hiring a personal driver to go along with a rental car. Rainy seasons continue from June to November, and some roads get flooded during that time.

You can pay for your purchases using official local currency, the Gambian dalasi (GMD). One dalasi is equal to approximately 0.02 euro. Living costs in the Gambia are lower than in Lithuania. For example, you can have lunch in a cheap restaurant for 290 dalasi and buy a cappuccino for about 17.50. In local shops, a 1.5 litre water bottle will cost you 26.67 dalasi; you can buy one kilogram of rice for about 34 dalasi, while one kilogram of chicken breast will cost you approximately 148.50. Bothe public transport tickets and a one kilometre long taxi ride cost about 8 dalasi.
