The Gambia is Africa's most fascinating nation, a tiny state that simply runs along the coast of a small river. Created by the British Commonwealth, it is one of the few English-speaking Muslim countries in the world. It is enclosed by the larger nation of Senegal on all sides, except that it fronts on the Atlantic Ocean. Its chief exports are fabrics, coconuts and lumber, and the national sport is wrestling.

Withdraw money with app

Hi,

I am on vacation here in The Gambia and need to withdraw some money. However the ATMs are expensive and I am not able to withdraw a big amount 10000+ Dalasi.

I’ve read that I can use applications as APS, ACE or Supersonicz instead. Do any of you guys have any experience with these, and could guide me?

Gambia Diplomats?

Who gets to work as a diplomat for the Gambia? I’m not asking about the Ambassadors and Chiefs of Mission but rather the working level embassy staff. How are they recruited? And what’s their typical professional background?

Traveling in Gambia for 2 or 3 weeks

Hello. Myself and my partener are thinking to visit Gambia in late January / beginning of February 2025, however not in the mood to book an all inclusive and spend the time on a resort or in the same place. Since couldn't find too many details about what / where and how, I decided to ask here some of the questions:

  1. do you have any advice on where to go and what to see?
  2. is it complicated to rent a car?
  3. what about finding accommodation (Airbnb / booking or what other platforms)?
  4. how is the mobile coverage while traveling?
  5. would it be better to have an external GPS device instead of relying on the phone?
  6. anything else that would be good to be specified.

How common are the Aku/Yoruba in Gambia?

I am Nigerian, and I was tracing my ancestry, and found out that a lot of my family members are dispersed in Sierra Leone and Gambia. They were Krio - Freed Yoruba slaves that were resettled in Sierra Leone. I was wondering what their role was in the Gambia - trying to understand my family better. Are they mostly located in Banjul?

Gaming in Gambia?

Hey guys! I look at gaming cultures around the world and I am a racing game fan. I have asked all of these questions on different subreddits, simply because I am curious about how each and every single country on this planet experiences video games. I am also curious about gaming in Gambia. My questions are:

What is more popular? PC or console?

What was more popular in the late 90s and early 2000s? PC or Console?

What racing game was popular in the late 90s and early 2000s!

What do racing game fans in Gambia play today?-(I get it might not be the most popular genre, but for people who like it, what do they play?)

In general, what games are played there?

Also, since what years has gaming been a thing there?

Thanks for your responses!!!!

Surprising my girlfriend

I started dating my Gambian girlfriend 2 months ago. While she is away on a business trip for a few months, I started teaching myself Wolof (YouTube) and trying to see what home meals she would appreciate. She loves ebbeh and afra lamb and plantains. What are some other Gambian dishes should I look into surprising her with when she comes home to me? Any other good resources for learning Wolof?

Most efficient way to get money out of The Gambia?

I did some work in The Gambia and was supposed to be paid in USD but because of currency shortages I've been paid in Dalasi in a local account. What is going to be the best way to get the money out of the country and into USD? I'm trying to look into crypto but so far haven't found exchanges that accept GMD deposits. Are there other cost-effective options? It's a fairly substantial amount of money.

Is "Madam" used to refer to female sex tourists in Gambia?

Is "Madam" predominantly used to refer to female sex tourists in Gambia? Or is it just a neutral word? I'd assume the first considering the connotations 'Madam' carries in English, but I'm not sure.
