gambia versus Mombassa
Okay guys, I have only been to Gambia and that was over 5 years ago now .I planning a week away after the new year and many people recommend Kenya over Gambia .

Is this mainly because now gambia Dalasi is very strong and girls are more expensive ?

This is my take on things,if going for longer than a week it would appear Kenya would win out .But for one week in Gambia the airfare is at least about 100 pound cheaper and flying time 3 hours less.Girls appear to be more expensive but 500d is the most I will pay, and from my experience of Asia you will always get girls that ask for more,but many will settle for that if not you will easily find one that will .Okay girls in Kenya about half that price ,but over seven days would not make much difference I guess .

Advantage Kenya has more girl friendly hotels ,but the Liverpool arms in Gambia would meet my requirement for my stay and price is okay.

The rest is all the same beer a little over one pound amybe alitle more expensive but not much .A beach is a beach so does not matter to me can chill out with book and a beer and sun bath.

I like to smoke on holiday and gambia easy to get some green,but be discrete anyway ,same would apply to Kenya but I have smoked before in Gambia without any problems .Both police are corrupt but more of a problem in kneya.

Hotel I have looked at same price and adequate .

just want opinions .
I reckon for one weeks holiday Gambia is the easier option but for longer I would say Kenya, as they have more variety and cheaper girls ,but for a week gambia has more than enough to keep you occupied.

What are the thoughts from you guys that have done both .

I will certainly be doing both ,it just be dependent on how long I go away for which I would choose .

The reason Mombasas recommended over Gambia these days are numerous. Gambia now is a dirty shithole of a place with a terrible exchange rate, constant hassle from the dumb bumsters, AND cops AND Military (sometimes), and to be honest if someone offered me a free trip I d probably turn it down!!

Mombasa on the other hand is great. I just got back from almost 6 weeks there, theres virtually no hassle apart from people trying to sell things on the beach which is quite legit, no bumsters, and the range of available women at discos like Tembo on a friday night is just mindblowing.

Kenya every time for me from now on no doubt!!
