12 Things To Know Before Coming To GAMBIA! | Best Hotels? Thieves? 🤔🇬🇲

[@herbertjohnson4342]

I am a Gambian living in the US, all I can say is you are so honest and on point in lining out your 12 steps visiting The Gambia. Keep up the great work, and stay safe.

[@user-tv2wk4yy2y]

I need your guidance I'm from.us I'm visiting gambia soon I have someone there I don't have my passport yet

[@adetorrent]

The weight loss is also due to change in diet I think, and a loss of appetite because of the heat, which makes you drink a lot more water.

[@yankzjannehanafits6133]

Not loss of appetite lol the food in Gambia is too good to loss appetite.

[@NiaPgn]

Ade Torrent Im guessing the food is much cleaner and more natural too!

[@homiedclown1885]

Lots of walking also does that.

[@CMO0002]

@@yankzjannehanafits6133 Never been to Gambia and I'm sure the food is really good from what I've seen but you do lose appetite when you first move to a place that's much hotter than what you're used to.

[@forcedair92gt94]

Without changing your diet, start walking 3-4 miles a day. You WILL lose fat. Now change your diet to less carbs/garbage and more healthy fats and you WILL lose more fat. Then start resistance training and you will look and feel like a totally different person. Guaranteed!

[@candle55]

I wish people would stop being so sensitive when you do videos like this. Guys we all have common sense and know anyone can scam anywhere but she lives in Gambia so she's just saying what she's experienced. Just do your research. By the way I love your videos I live in America but you've really inspired me to visit Gambia I never even thought about going to Africa before I saw your videos. It's like watching a movie or something Gambia looks so colorful.

Hey Ricki, Instead of talking extensively about how folks are getting ripped off due to not knowing the local prices, you could have given some examples. Such as: taking a taxi for such and such distance (2 miles/4 kilometer or whatever as an example should cost so and so much). Buying a kilo of vegetables/potatoes etc should cost apprx so and so much. A medium or low-end price hotel room during such and such season should cost apprx so and so much. Just a few examples using the most common expenses

There is scamming everywhere but people don't just change the price for regular things, based on who you are. Not everywhere. This type of scamming is the result of poverty and the ability of visitors to pay higher prices. I'm sure that in a "negotiation" society they don't even see it as a scam. They're just trying to make a good deal.

SCAMMING

[@Marikken7]

Those of us coming from the West ARE usually able to pay higher prices, and why shouldn`t we? Before I go there, I consult with an internet money exchange site to find out what my currency is worth in Dalasi. I make my little cheat-sheet so that I am clear on how much money they are asking in my own currency. This gives me perspective because when I exchange my currency into Dalasi, I get an inflated idea of how much money I have (much less in my own currency). So I consider what the product is worth - how much effort was put into it? How much creative energy? What was the actual cost to the producer? What would I pay for the same product in my own country? And then I come up with a price that I think is fair to the producer/seller and what it is worth to me, and often I find that what they are asking is very reasonable, and I will not try to talk them down because they deserve( often) at least what they are asking. Other times, they are indeed inflating the price for my white skin (tubab that I am), but do not assume that they always do that. I have found many to be very reasonable and I have no problem paying them their asking price. Then I can enjoy my prize guilt-free when I get home with it.

[@laz109]

I've been going to Gambia since April 2003. I have been going back there every year, sometimes twice a year since then until November 2019. Then Covid 19 stopped all that from happening. There is always something else to discover about Gambia. The fishing is good, the food is good and the beer is good although I am a little worried about the future of Banjul Breweries? On the whole the Gambian people are good. Very courteous, polite and honest. Good advice about Malaria. Get more. Take the tablets. With the "Bumster's" you have to learn to say "No" very early on in the conversation. And be firm. They will not want to attract attention. When things get back to normal I shall be going back as soon as I can. I love it there.

Facts

[@DJChirpzTV]

The scamming thing aka price gouging which is all over West Africa is due to poverty.

[@thewestside5825]

That's doesn't happen in west Africa only, in turkey and Tunisia, many other countries

[@kwakuakonto8942]

Price gouging is different from scamming so don't equate the two. Scamming is pure criminal behaviour, and that is different from bargaining or haggling on a product. The fact is Europeans and Americans don't know what bargaining is because prices of products are displayed for the buyer to see before they buy. The practice is different in traditional African markets. You don't expect farmers selling their produce on farms to stick prices on them. They tell how much they want to sell and you tell them how much you want to pay until you reach an equilubrium acceptable to both the seller and buyer

[@steelphiltv4975]

Great to see that you are thriving in the gambia! Is there alot of places to see live music? And what type of music can you go out to see there?

[@jcamara6214]

If you see tourists old men or women with young bumsa or seeking opportunities or children together with a tourist guy in most case their parents involved in the business which mean the parents has a relationship whatever it is with that tourist then bring along her kids even more attractions or seeking an opportunity for her kids through that tourist person like sponsorships or friendships is hard to exactly know what’s going on because in Gambia 🇬🇲 many schools children or the school it self get sponsorship through tourist programs that’s common

[@JourneywithMAMAZURI-hb8nr]

EXACTLY! Hiding behind legitimate causes. These pedophiles are the sickest. There should be ABSOLUTELY ZERO CONTACT WITH CHILDREN!

[@adinas6516]

Jalamang Jawula - In the Gambia it is seen as "If you see tourists old men or women with young bumsa or seeking opportunities or children together with a tourist guy in most case their parents involved in the business which mean the parents has a relationship whatever it is with that tourist then bring along her kids even more attractions or seeking an opportunity for her kids through that tourist person like sponsorships or friendships". However, to the rest of the world; it is seen and known as GROOMING. Paedophiles will target a family and spent years gaining access to the young child in the family, by pretending to be friends with the child's parent (s), or in the case of Gambians, offering to be a sponsor to their child for a better education. But, I guess you and people like you who are telling the people from the West that they are wrong, know more about these people who are short term visitors to your country. I mean, it's not like we live, go to school and work amongst them 24 hrs a day 365 days a year for our WHOLE LIFE.

[@jcamara6214]

Adina Stevens I guess we saying the same thing you just went further than me,thank you for your participation am speaking from my experience while I am there as a child in regarding to sponsorship

[@adinas6516]

@@jcamara6214 NO we are not saying the same thing. Just because you were lucky with your sponsorship, does not mean all of these other so call sponsors are doing something in the best interest of a Gambian child. When the word grooming is used in conjunction with paedophiles, it does not mean it is the action of making something looks presentable. It means that the child is been groomed for sexual purposes. It also means that the sexual predator is doing something to lower the parents' protective guard towards their children. Google sexual predators and grooming and see what comes up.

[@jcamara6214]

Adina Stevens yes but most Gambian benefits children from I know many schools where by they have friends in England or Denmark or Suisse students came to gambia 🇬🇲 specifically for that kind of program and again what you fell to understand that Gambia 🇬🇲 is unique and Gambians children are been watch not only the government but international organisations like UNICEF and others

[@njeriassata7541]

How would a foreigner know what the market prices are? That is possibly another topic for a video,to list average prices of common items? Why don't you start a tourist guide business?

[@blakeshaggy8443]

Exactly may this little girl got me f***** up

[@jamielong1237]

I've been here for a week by myself so far and it doesn't seem that dangerous, but then again I'm fairly athletic and muscular so that might deter a few thieves at least. Most things you said seems pretty accurate and I have to emphasis to everyone: DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT exchange money with anyone, the rates they offer you is an absolute joke. Order a prepaid card BEFORE you travel, top it up with some change and withdraw from the atm at hotels. If you need more money just transfer it from your main bank account to the prepaid card and use the ATM.

[@_yktvv___3386]

What do you mean pre paid card? And how do you get that

[@akaice504]

Hello, I'd like to visit soon. Is COVID vaccination a requirement for entry?

[@_yktvv___3386]

I don’t think so if u don’t do vaccine u can do covid test I think check online x

[@akaice504]

@@_yktvv___3386 I've looked online and it doesn't seem to be a requirement, I just wanted to confirm with one who recently traveled. Thank you🙂
