What to pack for Gambia in the fall

In Gambia during the fall season, the weather is generally hot and humid, with occasional rainfall.

Therefore, it is recommended to pack lightweight and breathable clothing such as cotton or linen fabrics. Loose-fitting tops and bottoms will help you stay comfortable in the warm temperatures. It is also important to pack clothing that covers your shoulders and knees out of respect for the local culture.

Consider bringing lightweight long-sleeved shirts and pants to protect yourself from the sun and mosquitoes. A wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses can also provide additional sun protection. Don't forget to pack a swimsuit for enjoying the beautiful beaches in Gambia, as well as a light jacket or sweater for cooler evenings. In addition, comfortable walking shoes are essential for exploring the bustling markets and vibrant streets of the city.

By packing a mix of practical and culturally appropriate clothing, you can ensure a comfortable and respectful experience during your fall visit to Gambia.
