Africa Gambia Banjul Tourist Information Public Transport

Overview

Public Transport

The guide was updated: 2022-12-12

There are a few ways visitors to Gambia may choose to get around. These include green tourist taxis, regular yellow taxis for longer distances, rickshaw (a budget option for those in no rush), and even quad bike rentals. All of the above are readily available in coastal resort areas and next to major hotels. Inexpensive ferry transfers across the River Gambia and to nearby islands are available, and so are smaller (manned) boats for hire.

Taxi

Taxi

Green taxis are the designated tourist taxis, easily available for hire and allowed direct access to areas most popular with visitors to Gambia (coastal resort settlements such as Kololi, Bakau, etc.), unlike their regular yellow counterparts. Prices for these green taxis are, however, significantly higher.
