Hospitality
The Gambia people are known for their warm welcome and generosity, with the “teranga” tradition emphasizing hospitality and sharing.
Safety
Gambia is generally safe for travelers, but it’s advised to stay alert in tourist areas and avoid isolated places at night.
Hydration
It is recommended to drink bottled water to avoid health risks, especially in rural areas.
Payment Methods
The local currency is the Dalasi. Credit cards are accepted in most hotels and city shops, but having cash is useful for small purchases.
