Border Crossing’s in Gambia
The Gambia’s unique geography, following the Gambia River inland, means nearly all its land borders are with Senegal. Crossings are concentrated along roads that traverse the narrow country, often linking towns on either side of the river. Ferries and bridges play an important role in connectivity. Border posts are typically busy but small-scale, reflecting strong cultural and economic ties between communities on both sides

A River Runs Through It
Gambia is one of Africa’s smallest nations and is almost entirely defined by the Gambia River, which runs through its center from east to west. This river has historically shaped trade, transport, and daily life, making it the country’s most important natural feature.
