Walking
From the Bakau Craft Market, head north on Kofi Annan St toward Newtown. Continue walking straight for about 1 km until you reach the junction at the end of the street. Turn left onto the main road and follow it for approximately 1.5 km. You will pass several local shops and cafes. Keep an eye out for the Senegambia area signs along the way. Once you reach the intersection with the highway, continue straight until you reach the Senegambia area.
Bicycle
If you have access to a bicycle, start at Bakau Beach and ride north along the coast. After around 2 km, you will come to an intersection. Turn left onto the main road and continue for another 1 km. You will pass local markets and residential areas. Continue until you reach Senegambia, which will be on your right. Look for signage indicating the area.
Public Transportation (Banjul Transport)
To take public transport, head to the nearest 'Gele-Gele' station from Bakau, which is typically located near the beach. Catch a 'Gele-Gele' minibus heading towards Serrekunda. Tell the driver you want to get off at the Senegambia area. The trip will take about 15-20 minutes. Once you arrive, follow the signs to the park located at C7VG+6C2, Serrekunda.
