Hi All, Could anyone please tell me what the travelling time and state of the roads are from Senegambia Area (tourist) to Kiang Manduar. I want to travel but seem to be getting put off quite a lot. Can anyone out their help?
Janky, I heard that the Brikama- soma road is in terrible shape. Most people traveling to Basse are going through Badibu. Manduar...nice people. I worked there for the PIEC in 1996. The Alikalo (Pa Kawsu) was a very gracious host.
Thank you for you information. I have been to Gambia several times, my husband of 5yrs is Gambian, and I wanted to go to Kiang Manduar to see where he was born. Each time I try to find out the travelling time and state of the roads I just get told that it is very bad and takes approx 6 hours. I love Gambia and the Gambian people and seriously want to see more of the country. I know that some roads are very bad and do understand that this is a major problem in Gambia. I personally believe that if the roads were in a better condition then the people of this wondderful country could travel to differant parts of Gambia to sell their wares and improve their lives. One thing I have learnt is that the children crave schooling yet children in this country take everything for granted and DON'T appreciate what they have. I'm sure they will one day.
