Remote work in Gambia
Including Senegambia Strip. On the map.
The vibe
Setting up a workspace here is a test of patience, as the internet infrastructure is prone to fluctuations that demand a flexible, go-with-the-flow mindset. It is not a typical nomad hub, so you will likely be working from your own accommodation rather than a dedicated co-working space. If you can handle the inconsistent connectivity, the quiet pace of life provides a unique backdrop for focused, deep work away from the usual digital distractions.

The Senegambia Strip serves as the primary hub for international visitors and digital nomads in The Gambia, offering the highest density of reliable Wi-Fi-enabled cafes and hotels. It is the most accessible area for those seeking a social remote-work scene with proximity to the beach and a wide range of amenities.
Access. Located in the Kololi district, it is easily accessible by taxi from Banjul International Airport; visitors typically stay in nearby hotels or long-term rental apartments within walking distance of the strip.
Notes. Connectivity can be inconsistent; it is highly recommended to secure a local 4G/5G SIM card or a portable Wi-Fi device as a backup to hotel internet.
