From Dakar, one can also drive to Ziguinchor via the Transgambian highway, crossing the Gambia River at the Farafenni ferry. This 280 mile (450 km) trip can be covered in one day. Sept places depart from Dakar early in the morning (be at the gare routière before 06:00 am). They charge CFA 8.500 plus CFA 500 per bag. The trip will last 8 hours if everything goes smooth, plus the waiting time at the Farafenni ferry which typically largely exceeds an hour. Expect very bad roads from Kaolack all the way to Gambia's border with Casamance. It is more comfortable to take the road via Kaolack in Senegal to Banjul in the Gambia.
