Banjul - Post Report Question and Answers
Is this a good city for single people? For couples? For families? Why or why not?
For families of young children because school is not up to US Standards for High School - Sep 2016
This is a wonderful post for families or couples. The community is very small, so I think it would be hard for singles. There are several night clubs. - Aug 2015
Most of the U.S. Embassy staff have families. I don't have personal experience living here as a single, but it would be difficult. Small expat community and limited nightlife options. - Jun 2014
This is a great location for families with you kids and couples. Singles may find it challenging here, especially women. The Gambia is 90% muslim and traditional male/female roles are still prevalent. The nightlife is nice, but minimal with about 4 clubs. Additionally, the expat community is small, so options are limited. - Jun 2013
I think it's good for both. Singles tend to hang out together and there is a vibrant night life. There is a lack of children's activities: no parks etc., but we manage. - Sep 2011
