Senegal - Gambia - Senegal

Hi,

1. Is it possible to arrive in Dakar on day 1, travel to Banjul on day 3, go east through Gambia, back to Senegal via Tambacounda and back to Dakar, arriving on day 15. Is this possible without rushing to much.

2. How do we get back in to Senegal in eastern Gambia?

3. Which kind of weather can we expect in early october?

Perfectly possible. Bush taxi Dakar to the border, local taxi to the ferry, cross the river to Banjul - allow a day.
Eastern Gambia - local buses/bush taxis run to Tambacounda from Basse or you can move west again to pick up the Trans-Gambia Highway (less fun!).

If I remember correctly it should be drying out by October but there will be standing water, esp on the coastal route to Gambia.

hi

yes possible, but remember it may still be raining a little and the roads will be at their worst after the heavy rainy seson ,
Dakar to Banjul took a friend of mine 12 Hours using Bush (shared) Taxis, ( about 6 Hours if you take a full taxi)
it is possible but a little of a rush to enjoy
