An der Grenze zum Senegal organisieren wir die Übergabe von unserem gambischen Führer und Fahrer Burama Keita an unseren Fahrer im Senegal Mbodj.

We meet our Senegalese driver Mbodj at the border. Luggage and passengers are transferred to another minibus which brings us to La Somone. I am very glad to have such reliable friends! Many thanks to both Burama and Mbodj!
