Taking a car into The Gambia
Hi All,
Has anyone tried taking a right hand drive car into The Gambia, is it allowed temporarily, or banned outright? Thought might pop in since down here. Thanks

Should be OK but the customs might try to pull you on it. They'll probably say it's illegal but they'll "try to help you....etc etc ..."
Main crossing on Kaolack-Banjul road has become tiresome/unfriendly/aggressive, crossings from south Gambia are far more relaxed. If you're driving something that looks like an "overlander" i.e. a fully equipped Landie or whatever it's no problem. On the main crossing, first thing in the morning is the best time.

officially you can't but I saw a car from the Timbuktu challenge that was right hand drive in Kotu in the Gambia two days ago.
I would use the Farrafenni border as it is much more friendly

-I was in 2006 in Gambia with a RHD mondeo-
I was barred at the border . No way . Absolutely no -way I was told. I had a friend -thou- with good set of contacts in the goverment, and managed to issue me a special-rhd clearance for 30 days . Once inside Gambia , I was being pulled over almost 100% of the times. And was inmediately asked to produce that RHD clearance paper. It may be better now .

Sorry Don't know about RHD issue
But... I was in the Gambia this time last year Road blocks much less friendly than previous years. Definately better in early morning Last year they imposed a seat belt rule that was, and probably still is, strictly enforced. Don't get caught out, it is expensive if you do!! John
