The Gambia has a very limited choice of scheduled flights, with only Astraeus offering twice-weekly departures from the UK. Most tourists (and Gambians) travel on charter flights.
As in most of Africa, there is a risk of malaria, and you do need to consult your GP about relevant precautions.
The Gambian electricity supply is notoriously erratic. Most hotels have back-up generators, but you shouldn’t bring any electronic equipment that is sensitive to power fluctuations.
Yundum International Airport is one of a handful in the world designated by NASA as a potential landing strip for the space shuttle. So your aircraft won’t be running out of runway!
