Accommodation
A lot of places in The Gambia do not have running water or electricity, and such is my case. I do have a well for water and, as we are a tight community, we can get anything you might need in the neighbouring houses.
As for food requierements, just ask for it in advance.
What else…
Keep in mind that the closest town in a 30-minute walking distance. It is easy to move around, but this little extra time should be counted on.
