Dangers & annoyances
Crime rates in Serekunda are low; however, tourists, and especially women, will have to deal with the constant hustling by ‘bumsters’. Be firm but polite when you decline any unwanted offers, and to be safe, rely on the services of the official tourist guides (OTGs) based outside Kairaba Hotel. Women should always avoid going to beaches on their own.
