Does any of you have experience in this part of the world? I am going there for 2 months and am planning to stay with locals. Any tips?

Smells like an Ebola and AIDS kind of trip
I'm going to Senegal next month; very excited. Not going to Gambia because of the cost of the visa. No offense to Gambians, but no fucking way am I paying >$100 for the privilege of seeing a river and a beach.
How are you arranging staying with locals? Are you going with some sort of program?
I'll be camping most of the time; does anyone have wild camping tips for senegal?

First month I am going to teach in a local school, I home that in this period I will be able to get propper intel where to stay and all the other stuff. I heard that people are friendly and are willing to take you in for the night, but you have to give them something (I stumbled on t shirts for a few times)
For the next month I am also planning on camping. I hope that my experience from 3 weeks in the army before studying law pay off.

For the first, Ebola is pretty much gone and can be avoided with basic highiene, and for the second, this is why you resist fucking unprotected.

Even then, the HIV rate in Senegal is really low.
