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.
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.
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.
Bakau retains remnants of colonial architecture and is surrounded by ecological attractions such as the Abuko Nature Reserve. The weekly traditional bazaar offers an opportunity to experience local handicrafts and folklore activities, and the characteristic fishing villages dotted along the river strip are a typical window on Gambian folk life.
