Introduction to Bakau, The Gambia
Bakau is an important town in the West African country of The Gambia, located on the north bank of the Gambia River, about 10 kilometers from the capital city of Banjul, and belongs to the administrative center of the West Bank District. As a transportation hub connecting the capital with the interior, Bacau has an important economic and strategic position.
Geographical and demographic characteristics
Located on the coastal plain, Bacau has a savannah climate with distinct dry and rainy seasons. The town has a population of about 60,000 people, mainly Mandingos and Wolofs, with Islam as the main religion. Traditional houses are interspersed with modern buildings, presenting a unique transition between urban and rural areas.
Economy and Transportation
The economy is based on trade in agricultural products (groundnuts, palm products) and re-export trade, with large regional bazaars. The main trans-Gambian highway passes through Bakau, with ferries connecting to the south bank of the river, and Banjul International Airport is only a 15-minute drive away, making it an important logistical node in The Gambia.
