A journey across west Africa. Starting in The Gambia
Taking a break from Madagascar due to its current rainy season. Decided to travel west Africa. On the itinerary are The Gambia, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, and Cameroon.
So, The Gambia. . . Let me start by saying that Gambian (and Senegalese) women are among the most beautiful I've ever seen. Tall, dark, great legs and ass. Flawless skin. The only other group of women I can compare them to are the Luo and Luya ladies of the Lake Victoria region in Uganda and Kenya.
Locals are very friendly and polite, and I had no issues with personal safety. This is of course the Smiling Coast.
I spent most of my time in Serrekunda, enjoying the beaches during the daytime. At night, I went out to Senegambia, the area where most tourists and locals hang out. Interestingly, I met more working girls from Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Nigeria than I did from The Gambia. And although I found several nice bars and clubs, I just wasn't impressed with the overall ambiance. It's strange to see the bars packed with old euro women and young Gambian guys. Just not my scene. I also found the prices high and the overall atmosphere lacking the sexiness and excitement that's in the air in Madagascar, Kenya, Ivory Coast, Angola, and other African countries I've visited.
And as I had suspected, I found The Gambia to be too small. My whole time in Serrekunda felt like I was in a suburb of a major city. But of course I was not in a suburb because there is no major city. It's just a stretch of small town after small town after village after small town. Again, just not my preference.
Tinder was very effective for connecting with Gambian ladies. In fact, I matched with more women than I had time to meet. And they all accepted invitations to my apartment, even the devout muslims. However, some girls told me they could not sleep at my place due to religious beliefs. So they would come over, we cook, eat, watch TV, go to the bedroom. And she would leave around midnight. I always gave a cash gift for "transport" and "food".
For what its worth, I prefer Senegal to The Gambia with Senegal's larger population, actual cities such as Dakar, and the foreign women who travel / live in Dakar from other francophone-African countries. That report is in the Senegal forum.
