"I've heard that the old Banjul terminal was very
unpleasant. However, the new terminal (in existence for several
years now) is quite nice for an airport in a developing country.
The airport is clean, there are small cafes/restaurants for
purchasing food or drinks. Yes, there are porters who offer to
carry your bags for you (legitimate porters can be identified by
their brown uniforms and ID tags). The distance is not far to
walk, but you need only pay US1 which isn't much and keeps the
porters employed. My bags were searched in a cursory fashion on
entry to the country and on departure. However, nothing that was
any worse than anywhere else one travels these days.The Gambian
people are friendly and hospitable. Eager to welcome visitors to
their country. I had a great experience there both times I have
traveled to this country."
