    • Up to 10 in the morning most days it is relaxed to go outside, same is from 4 onwards. But in between temperatures get up and the heat is sometimes for us unbearable. Always ware a hat, use sunscream and if you can avoid the sun then take care of it. Take plenty of water with you, and eat chips (salt in between).
    And use a high sunprotector!

    • The road in Gambia except for the surroundings of the Hotel area, are in bad state to very bad state. Currently loads of grading working of the roads is and have to be done to make transport more suitable. Only small parts of the countryside are bitumen most is gravel, and what was bitumen (shelfs) is that worst that you have to drive side ways.
    So take an expierenced driver to cover the vast distances in the country.
    You'll drive and average of 30-40 kms p/h so it takes a long while to get to the other side of the country!
