The Gambia is open to leisure tourists and arrivals are recovering, so it is definitely visitable. But travel is not low-friction right now: recent unrest, petty crime, seasonal flooding, and frequent power/cash problems are the main practical issues. A trip is feasible with caution, but travelers should plan around cash dependence and possible disruptions.
