Denton Bridge

Denton Bridge is the only bridge between Banjul and Serrekunda so it has a police check point to provide tight security. It crosses over Denton Creek which is really just an offshoot of the Gambia River. People do surf fishing from the nearby beach and it is also safe for swimming. This photo shows the old bridge which is no longer used except by fishermen and, to the right, the newer bridge.

Banjul to Barra Ferry

This is the Banjul to Barra Ferry which crosses the Gambia River near where reaches the ocean. The cost for a one way journey is D5 for individual passengers and D150 for cars. As you can see this is a very busy place. The ferry operates from 7am to late evening.

Taxis

Here you see a lot of taxis on the streets because most people do not have their own car. Taxis travel regular routes and you can get on or off anywhere by flagging them down. If you want to have a taxi all to yourself and go to a special address you can hire one but it will cost you more. As you can see, all taxis in The Gambia have to be painted yellow and green.
