From Senegal to Gambia.
The Senegal customs didn’t know what to do with the Carnet at first. We asked if it was possible to not stamp it out but they insisted that it must be stamped. In the end they just stamped the top part and didn’t rip the exit part out. The immigration stamp afterwards and then to the Gambia side.

First they inspected our vehicle, then we went to customs to get a passavant and they gave it to us for free. At the immigration we first queued in front of the building for finger prints and afterwards you go inside to get the actual stamp.

All in all a pretty easy border to cross. We didn’t pay anything and weren’t asked once to pay.

Re-entering Senegal from Gambia
Altogether 20mins for both sides of the border, police directs you where to go. 2 motorcycles with no CDP, no one asked for anything, not even checked passeavants. Maybe because they were told right away we are re-entering so they did not want to try to ask for any bribe.
All in all, besides Rosso, borders of Senegal are not so bad, just be normal, don't pay anything not obbligatory and ask a receipt for whatever they ask and they will give up.

Gambia to Senegal

Stamping out was quick and easy as well as customs.

Easy and relaxed. We needed to explain where to stamp the Carnet, but all officers were friendly and welcoming. No questions about medicine. Just one officer on Senegalese side asked for money. Didn’t pay him. As easy as that. No reciept, no money. Easy, don’t worry!

Getting out of Senegal was very easy, really nice officers that help us to the right direction. When you cross the border with your vehicle, PUT YOUR BELT ON! A policewoman was waiting with for us and ask my daughter for her driver's license (not very nicely) she grabbed it and went inside. The immigration officer was very nice. My daughter had to talk herself out abouth the belt (they wanted money of course...) Another man came out and realized we were canadians and probably told the policewoman to let it go. After that she was very friendly and ask for my daughter's phone number! They can change their attitude quite fast!!! Be patient and wear your belt even for 25meters! We did not pay anything at the end :)

Gambia side border was very slow at 22;30 so we missed the last ferry to Banjul, but it was okay because the cool Gambia border patrol allowed us to stay in their home ! They were so welcoming and polite!

Check out our morning with them on our youtube!

Karang border crossing was simple for the formal exit from Senegal/entry to Gambia. Right at the last moment the Drug Law Enforcement Agency Ushered us behind the police station for a very extensive search of the vehicle. Looking for prescription meds without a prescription or anything to solicit a bribe. Got out paying only 2000CFA for a customs stamp on the Carnet, which was stamped exit from Senegal as well.
