The seaport of Banjul is located on the edge of the Gambia River and is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world. Located in the heart of a city of more than 1.5 million inhabitants, it is a modern city with a grid-shaped layout and its own roads, bridges and public transport.

Its ideal location on the estuary makes it a maritime base for the Gambian navy. In the east it is surrounded by Senegal, with an almost enclosed enclave of Senegal, and in the west it has a short North Atlantic coast.

On the Gambian side, it is less than 2 km from the border, and if you are looking for peace and quiet, you can go to Brufut or Cape Point beach. There is also a local school on site, or if it is a place to stay overnight or even spend a day or two, we recommend an organized tour, such as the Southern Gambian tour. You can also take a taxi, although all would be fine with an SUV, as we were on the river trip.

There are three different taxi services in Gambia, each small and owned by its own taxi, for those who want to experience adventure with their friends, family or friends of friends in the country.

It is possible to drive to one of these cars in a private car, but when we arrived they refused to pay us more than GMD200. If you ask us if you want to take a moto taxi to Dakar, we ask you at the border gare Routier (bus station) and take you to the border with Senegal, "he said. We asked for a taxi from Gambia to the Senegalese border and asked the taxi to take us there and we paid no more than XOF200, he said.

The topography of Gambia is dominated by the Gambie River, which runs from east to west along the length of the country. The highest point is only 53 m above sea level, and the lowest hills flank the river and its tributary, the Gambian River, at an altitude of about 1,000 m. Fig. 1) The Gambia is divided into three regions: North, South and East, and West and South - East.

For bird watchers, Gambia is paradise on earth, and the city's wildlife is abundant, but it does not have a large wildlife park like other African countries. The River Gambie National Park is home to a variety of animals and surrounded by dense mangroves and forests you can visit the water that is said to boost fertility. For bird watchers, it is heaven and earth at the same time; there is no stone - the land, no neighbouring countries and no danger of being completely surrounded on the flight to Banjul in Senegal.

Gambia is a popular seaside destination, but the main tourist beaches are normally guarded by police and hotel staff.

Gambia is located in the centre of Africa, and the country's eponymous river flows through the centres of the Gambia. Banjul is the name of the island of St. Mary's Island, or Banjil Island, where the Gambia River flows into the Atlantic Ocean. Tropical cyclones are beginning to form in this ocean west of Senegal from the Atlantic. They move toward the Caribbean as they form, but from there they begin to form.

The weather of the dry season in Gambia is influenced by dry winds from the northeast, locally called Hamattan. The climate is hot in this small country overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and crossed by the river of the same name. As Gambia is quite close to the equator, the sun is very strong and the best time to visit Gambia is in the summer months, although some inland areas are already getting very hot in February.
