Jane Moore, from Taverham, and Janet Clark, from Matishall, run the charity Gambian Aid Through Education, external. They've had to cut their annual trip short after the Foreign Office advised all UK citizens to leave the country.
Mrs Moore's husband, Nick Moore, said: "Jane and Janet are still at the hotel and have been told that there will be three flights only out of The Gambia today and as of about 10am, they were not booked on any of them so they are just waiting for further news/instructions at the hotel."
He says both women are "rather fed up" with the whole thing and "would rather be getting on with the job they are there to do, which is their charity work".
The pair went out to The Gambia on Friday, taking books, football shirts and computer equipment for local schools and they were also planning to visit several villages.
