Gambia
Travel Guide
ENTRY/EXIT REQUIREMENTS:
The Gambia is a developing country in western Africa, and the capital is
Banjul. The official language is English. Facilities for tourism in the
Banjul area are good; however, outside the capital region, tourist
facilities are limited in availability and quality.
A passport, visa, and evidence of yellow fever vaccination are required.
A $10.00 (U.S. Dollars) tourist levy is charged upon arrival at the
airport. Payment is accepted in British Pounds, Euros, or U.S. Dollars.
Travelers are urged to obtain the latest information on customs and entry
requirements from the Embassy of The Gambia, 1156 15th Street, N.W., Suite
905, Washington, D.C. 20005, telephone (202) 785-1399, fax (202) 785-1430;
or from the Permanent Mission of The Gambia to the U.N. at 820 Second
Avenue, Suite 900 - C, New York, NY 10071, telephone (212) 949-6640.
Overseas, inquiries should be made at the nearest Gambian embassy or
consulate.

MEDICAL FACILITIES AND HEALTH INFORMATION: Medical
facilities in The Gambia are very limited, some treatments are unavailable,
and emergency services can be unpredictable and unreliable. Travelers
should carry their own supplies of prescription as well as over-the-counter
medicines or treatments. See the “Special Circumstances” section below for
further information on prescription drugs.
Malaria is a serious risk to travelers in The Gambia. Travelers who
become ill with a fever or flu-like illness while traveling in a
malaria-risk area and up to one year after returning home should seek prompt
medical attention and tell the physician their travel history and what
anti-malarial medications they have been taking.
Information on vaccinations and other health precautions, such as safe
food and water precautions and insect bite protection, may be obtained from
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s hotline for international
travelers at 1-877-FYI-TRIP (1-877-394-8747)

MEDICAL INSURANCE: The Department of State strongly
urges Americans to consult with their medical insurance company prior to
traveling abroad to confirm whether their policy applies overseas and
whether it will cover emergency expenses such as a medical evacuation.
REGISTRATION / EMBASSY LOCATION: Americans living
or traveling outside of the U.S. are encouraged to register with the U.S.
Embassy through the State Department’s travel registration website,
https://travelregistration.state.gov. Americans without Internet access
may register directly with the U.S. Embassy. By registering, American
citizens make it easier for the Embassy to contact them in case of
emergency.
The U.S. Embassy is located at 92 Kairaba Avenue in Fajara, a suburb of
the capital city of Banjul. The mailing address is P.M.B. no. 19, Banjul,
The Gambia. Twenty-four hour telephone numbers are (220) 439-2856, 439-2858
and 439-1971; the fax is (220) 439-2475; and the web site is
http://www.usembassybanjul.gm.
