Brace up for more hardship this year! 😢

Yesterday, a Norway-based Gambian woman contacted us and disclosed: "I sent a car to The Gambia. I was told by an agent that it would cost around D40,000 to clear the car. But when I went to the port this week, they said the new clearing fee is D56,000. I couldn't believe it. I left without my car."

Another Diaspora Gambian from the USA also contacted us yesterday claiming he was ordered to pay over D6000 at the airport for a second-hand PlayStation he had in his bag. He left the PlayStation with them.

When we contacted our insiders at the GRA, they said customs duties and taxes will continue to increase this year because the government tasked them to collect D13.5billion in 2022 - the highest revenue target in the recent history of the country.

And this D13.5billion excludes the hundreds of millions that customs officers are going to steal in 2022.

Meaning prices in our markets will continue to go up. Customs duties at the airport, seaport and our borders will continue to go up. Income taxes will continue to go up.

Small businesses will die. More Gambians will go to bed hungry each night. Potential investors will be scared away. Many will be out of work.

It's going to be a tough year!

WATOURS

GAMBIA

When I think about my next trip to “The Gambia” the pictures that come into my mind are of Golden beaches, exotic fauna & flora, days filled with adventure, and nights spent relaxing with good food to the sound of local drums.

Days are spent either relaxing on one of my many long and sandy beaches, Kotu beach is one of my favourites with its soft sand and a good selection of beach bars to have some lunch. Some days I like to go further afield and will take a car and picnic to Gunjur, where the beaches are completely deserted, this is a great place to completely relax in a totally natural environment.

The Gambia is not just about relaxing; I love to get out and about to see the real Gambia away from the main tourist areas. Visiting the local markets is a must for me, as you enter all your senses go into overdrive taking in the colours of the local produce and fabrics, the smells of the spices and the noise of the bartering for souvenirs to take back such as drums and wooden carvings.

Senegal is also a must, visit the game reserve and get up close to many different species of wildlife, and take some amazing photos of the Giraffes and Rhinos! Venturing out with a truck safari is also an eye opening experience, going into the bush areas of the Gambia seeing the traditional way of living in mud hut villages & spotting monkeys and amazingly colourful birds along the way. My favourite day is to cruise up the river Gambia to visit the villages of Albreda and Juffreh which were written about in the book Roots, combined with the cruise this is a magical day to relax on the boat see some beautiful scenery and learn about the history of this tiny country.

During the evenings I either sit by the hotel pool watching the colourful cultural shows with African dancers and stilt walkers, go to the local restaurants to sample grill fish , chicken Yassa & Benachin, or for a wider choice the Senegambia strip, which is where you can find a great selection of multicultural cuisine and the best night life.

The Gambia is an amazing country that has something to offer everyone it truly is the smiling coast of West Africa and only 6 hours away Uk!
