The number of vehicles significantly decreases as one travels upcountry to the east, but the occasional truck, motorcycle, or NGO vehicle will offer a lift, especially if you are walking along the side of the road in the bush.
Traversing the country to travel between northern [[Senegal]] and [[Casamance]] is not too difficult because many truckers and Senegalese with personal vehicles make the journey, although expect to wait a long time to cross the river. Especially at Yelitenda, where crossings are very irregular and rides can be tricky to find as a lot of the traffic is already full buses and bushtaxis. Barra is a better option, with more personal vehicles crossing, and its proximity to Banjul. Camping Sukuta (in between Serekunda and Senegambia), close to Banjul, hosts most european drivers who have a car for sale, and is a good place for finding longer rides southwards to Guinea-Bissau or eastwards. (Signs from Sukuta can be seen all the way to Western Sahara), and it is also a good place to mention as a 'place of residence' to give to the border guards from Senegal to Gambia if they decide to give you trouble.
