Getting there

Car

If you are driving from the capital city, Banjul, head east on the A1 highway. Continue for approximately 70 kilometers until you reach the junction for the Lower River Region. Turn left onto the B1 road, which will take you through several small towns. Keep an eye out for signs directing you towards Bureng. Once you arrive in Bureng, follow the local roads to CMVQ+7W, which is your destination.

Public Transportation (Bush Taxi)

To reach Bureng via public transport, head to the main bus station in Banjul. Look for bush taxis (shared taxis) that are heading towards the Lower River Region. These taxis typically leave when full, so be prepared for a short wait. The fare will generally be around 50-100 Dalasi, depending on your negotiation skills. Inform the driver you are going to Bureng, and they will drop you off near your destination. From the drop-off point, you might need to walk for a few minutes to reach CMVQ+7W.

Motorbike Taxi

If you prefer a quicker option after reaching Bureng, consider using a motorbike taxi (locally known as 'Boda Boda'). These can be found near town centers. Negotiate the fare before starting your ride. The cost will typically be around 20-50 Dalasi for a short distance. Ensure the driver knows your exact location, CMVQ+7W, in Bureng.
