Dear all, I am Emilly and I am going to work in Gambia. For me is very interesting all about Gambia. What means rainy season from june to october? Is it raining all day?
Emilly have you tried,www.gambiatouristsupport.com I think ou will find lots of answers to your questions on their bantabar question and answer forum. hope this helps.
Might aswell write something now about the rainy season now.
First of all, I had about as much fun as the children there in the rain. It is an amazing natural display. It rains a lot in the night(?)and I could not believe how cold the rain was compared to the sticky damp, hot air.Nice to take a shower if you can get privacyor just to cool down before going to bed.It takes maybe less than 10 seconds standing there and you're soaked.The amount of water falling in such a short time is huuuge. If you have to travel it might get tricky as most roads get huge holes and water stays there(obviously only the sandy roads)and I remember our "compound"car there used to have a small swimming pool on the floor.Luckily people mostly wear flip-flopsand the children thought it was funny to have a wet floor in the car. It was torture because that was the first time I visited Gambia, the heat was unbelievable, just moving an arm makes you sweat again, but the natural display is amazing and at least I was toughened up for it couldn't get any hotter than in the rainy season
