How Much Data Do You Need in Gambia?

For a short 3-5 day trip focused on Banjul and the coastal resorts, 1-3GB covers maps, messaging, and social media. A week-long adventure exploring Janjanbureh Island or Makasutu Cultural Forest typically needs 3-5GB, especially if you're uploading photos. For longer stays of two weeks or more, or if you plan video calls and streaming, consider 5-10GB to stay comfortable throughout your trip.
