Budapest - Bamako Rally | OVERLANDSITE | Episode 7 - ENGLISH | Overlanding through Northwest Africa

The finish line of the rally was in Serrekunda, right next to the capital city of Banjul. It’s a beach town, so hotels and restaurants have sprung up near the main road on the beach in the last few years that cater for tourists from Western Europe. While tourism has rapidly increased here over the last few decades as the government has recognized its revenue potential, there’s still a lot to catch up on in terms of infrastructure. https://overlandsite.com/blog/bamako-... The Budapest-Bamako Rally has been organized since 2005. As the name suggests, the finish line is usually in Mali’s capital, Bamako. However, due to terrorism and kidnapping threats, this has been changed several times over the years to different destinations, and is also why the finish line this year was in The Gambia. This was the second time for the country to host the finish ceremony, so they were very well prepared. Billboards advertised the arrival of more than 100 cars and trucks to an empty football field close to the beach in Serrekunda. Many car dealers and other individuals showed up for the sole purpose of buying one of the rally cars, as most of the teams planned to sell their rigs before flying back home.
