About Banjul time
Banjul keeps one clock.
Banjul runs on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), matching UTC+0 with no daylight saving shifts, making it blissfully simple for remote teams to schedule calls without worrying about seasonal clock changes. As the compact coastal capital of The Gambia, this West African city keeps a relaxed Atlantic rhythm: mornings start warm and bright, workshops and meetings often wrap before midday heat sets in, and the workday winds down as golden afternoon light sweeps across the river and shoreline.
