Banjul Getting there & around

Getting there & away

Ferries (4228205; Liberation St; passengers D10, cars US$5-7) travel between Banjul and Barra, on the northern bank of the river. They normally run every one to two hours from 7am until 7pm and take one hour, though delays and cancellations are frequent. Small, overcrowded pirogues also make the crossing (US$2 per person or US$20 if you hire the whole boat).

Minibuses and Mercedes buses to Brikama and upcountry towns, and to places in southern Senegal, all go from Serekunda garage.
