Hi there,
Make sure to have a good car and a good spare tire.
Avoid drinking water sold in sachets on the street—opt for the 10-liter "Casamancaise" water jugs instead, as they’re controlled. Bring portable mosquito nets.
Also, pack basic pharmaceuticals for kids: mosquito cream and repellents, plus tablets for diarrhea. Biafine is great for sunburns.
There are lots of small villages to visit—don’t park too long at Cap Skirring, as there are other beautiful beaches. Have a great trip! Prices are higher at Cap.
