READ MY POST IN THE ARCHIVES FOR the story on this girl. She was GGGGGREAT. She was so loving and attentive, I thought she wanted to be my girlfriend instead of just night company. Her cousin was pimpin her out at the resort I was in. She was only $25 for the night, but I had to pay the three guards $5 each to let het through the three gates, and her cousin $10. I also tipped her $10 or $15. It happened last years on my visit.

Hello everybody,

Unfortunately I can´t (yet) add any new reports to this forum. However I'm planning on going to The Gambia in January and will be posting information afterwards.

Here are my questions, I would like to hear from travellers more experienced than myself:

- I dig sexy "westernized" black girls, does this look exist in Gambia, or is it a country where all the ladies dress in traditional african clothing ?

- Is it true that it's THAT easy to have sex with non-pros and how open is the hotel staff about these activities ( chamber maids, waitresses etc. )?

- Is a single male (and his HUGE sex-drive ha, ha) accepted at a the touristy Hotels? Comments on Senegambia Beach, Atlantic Corinthean, African Village appreciated.

- Would you recommend renting an appartment to take the ladies to, or is it unnecessary to "hide" your actions from the hotel?

- Does anybody have a picture of a typical Gambian girl (pro or non-pro) to post? What about a link for useful information? What exactly do the girls there look like, for god´s sake?

Whew, a lot of questions, but I willcertainly share my view with you after returning from this country.

Thanks,

Booty

Speaking of booty, is anal sex available in The Gambia?

I would be greatful if Frank or another Gambia-traveller could react to my questions in the previous post.

In other reports some bars/clubs were recommended, such as:
- Jokor Nightclub at West-Field (Serekunda)
- Sir Williams Kotu Beach
- Spy Bar
- Wheels Bar and Restaurant
- Waaw Disco (nightclub)

Other tips for action:
- a lot of easy going girls in the area around Novo/BB-hotel;
- the night club at Novo hotel is (used?) to be good;
- for street action there are a lot of girls along the Kotu Road from 7PM to 11PM;
- also the hotels and night clubs in Kololi area have many nice girls.

Hi there folks!

I’m following your excellent reports for a while and decided to visit Gambia coming December and January. I would be very pleased if some Gambia-travellers could answer my questions.

As a single traveller it is not very comfortable staying in a hotel crowded by European families or couples. Many of you have certainly experienced that in this case the tourists will always look very critical at the single traveller bringing a girl to the hotel (every night?). Which hotel – close to the action and not a family hotel – would you recommend? If possible beneath 25$.

Could you recommend a hotel which allows visitors? In reports on another site I read that most hotels will not allow visitors, unless you spend a ridiculous amount of money on a fee from sometimes 250, sometimes up to 600 dalasis.

Where is the action? What is the best location to get a hotel? I read something about Serekunda and about the coast resorts of Bakau, Fajara, Kotu and Kololi.

I am going to Gambia in October. Thanks to Frank's tip, my entire trip will cost 1400$, and I will be flying non-stop on Ghana airlines from U.S. to Banjul.
I still have some questions though, and I would appreciate as many answers as your time will allow. Remember, I am a total rookie when it comes to Africa.
1) I can not help arriving there in Banjul around 2:30-3 AM, which is of course not the best time of day. Are there any hotels there with which I maybe able to communicate ahead of time and have some one waiting at the airport for me? Or should I just wait in the airport until sunlight?
2) Travel Insurance. Any companies that I should consider (or stay away from)? I have something on "Travelguard international" which I will read. I'll also check with my insurance agent.
3) I will be taking medication for malaria prevention, but how bad is the mosquito problem over there? If I am staying at a fairly nice hotel in Banjul, I won't be needing any nets and insect sprays for my room, right? (sorry, I have been reading too much from the CDC site).
4) How about the rains? I guess October may still be part of the rainy season. What kind of damper is that gonna put on my vacation?
5) How bad is the lack of internet there? Will I have any opportunity anywhere to use email and keep in touch with my loved ones a couple of times a week?
I am going, but I just want to be as prepared and as informed as possible. If you feel more comfortable emailing me privately, write to johangnorman@hotmail.com
Thank you.
P.S. To Waywardson: thanks for the suggestion about Ghana. If I can get a visa to visit Ghana while in Gambia, I may fly there for a couple of days, otherwise for my first trip I am just gonna stick to Gambia. If I enjoy Africa, my next trip will be to Ghana and Nigeria.

Dear J.G.:

I'm glad to read that my advice helped you get a reasonable fare to fly to The Gambia.

I've read over your post and will write a longer reply next week about hotels, etc. But a few comments now:

- check with your local doctor or travel clinic for info/medicine on malaria, and take it very seriously. The last thing you want to do is be sick on your vacation. Even though you'll probably be staying in a decent hotels with screens on the windows, etc., there are still mosquitos everywhere. Bring some insect repellent with DEET in it.

- you should find easy Internet access in all of the tourist areas - lots of Internet cafes at reasonable rates. When I was there in 2000 the Internet cafes charged you in 15-minute increments, at a very reasonable price.

- most hotels would not send a car to the airport to pick you up, but getting a taxi when you arrive should not be a problem. Shouldn't cost you more than $10 U.S. to take a cab from the airport to the tourist areas such as Fajara. Yes, it is a good idea to have a hotel reservation ahead of time - if you don't like the hotel, you can always change after a day or two.

- Travel insurance is always a good idea to protect you against flight delays/cancellations/lost luggage, etc.

- I'll have a post about hotels next week.

- finally, bring lots of condoms with you from the U.S., both lubricated and unlubricated. While the locally-available condoms are probably ok, for my own peace of mind I always travel with a box of fresh Trojans. And while I'm sure you already know this, let me repeat - DO NOT EVER have unprotected sex with any female in The Gambia, no matter what!

Hey J.G have you considered Ghana? If you are interested in an anglophone country Ghana gets good marks. Fairly safe, interesting things to see and do and a thriving sex market. Nigeria is also live but it is a rough place for the uninitiated (to traveling in Africa). Read all the previous post.
I have not been to the anglophone eastern African countires such as Kenya and Tanzania - lot of terroism concerns so you may been on your guard but there should be good deals and less pesky tourists to horn in on your action. Good luck!

[Member #4239]

To Frank Africa
Your suggestions were right on. I think I can make the trip happen with Ghana airlines at the price that you mentioned.
Now, another question: for a first time visitor, would you have any reservations about recommending Gambia? The reports seems to suggest that there is plenty of action there. Would you agree with that? For my first trip, I am just looking to get a taste of the Africa without putting myself at too much risk.
Thanks for the info. J.G.

[Member #4239]

Thanks a lot Frank for the useful information. I am gonna have to take your suggestions directly to a travel agent and see what he can do. Your first option would be the most attractive for me. I didn't have any luck finding cheap fares on-line. Thanks again for your reply and I'll let you know if things work out. J.G.

I had considered going to Gambia for my first trip to Africa. It's supposedly an English speaking and fairly safe country with plenty of action. However, various internet searches turned up a price of around 4000 dollars or more to get there(from the U.S.). The cheapest price was around 1600 to go to Lagos, but I am really not interested in going to that city.
Are these the sort of prices that you guys or your companies have been paying?

That $4,000 price is way too high. Here are three ways to get cheaper fares:

1) Fly from New York To Banjul, The Gambia via Ghana Airways, which is a safe airline. Fares are as low as $1,300 round trip.

2) Buy one ticket from New York to Brussels, Belgium, then a second ticket from Brussels to Banjul. You should see fares that total under $2,000

3) Fly from New York to Dakar, Senegal for around $900 round trip, then fly Senegal Airlines from Dakar to Banjul - less than $100 each way, or else travel overland.

Try the Travelocity web site, and Good luck!
