- Contact a travel clinic at least 6 weeks before your departure to The Gambia to arrange your vaccinations and necessary medications. Gambia and Senegal are countries where malaria occurs. Protect yourself with malaria medication and mosquito spray based on DEET and try to sleep under a mosquito net as much as possible. Please note: a mosquito net is not available in all lodges.
- Take a good travel pharmacy with you, your doctor can help you with this. What you definitely need is ORS (oral rehydration solution), medication for stomach and abdominal complaints, a general antibiotic, painkillers and a basic first aid kit.
- Bring light and comfortable clothing that protects you from the sun. We regularly walk through tall grasses and savannah areas, so adjust your footwear, but keep it light because it can get very hot during the day. Protect yourself with a high factor sunscreen!
