Why Choose...Te Gambia or Senegal, or perhaps bothThe neighbouring West Arican countries o
The Gambia and Senegal share a lot o similarities
in their traditions, landscapes, climate and culture
but there are also many dierences.
Primarily, The Gambia is an easier option both in terms o travel and
communication as it is English speaking and serviced with direct fights rom
the UK, with resort areas being easily accessible. Senegal requires a little
more eort but or more adventurous travellers this will be well rewarded.
Both countries benet rom:
Fantastic winter sun, rom November until June
Uncrowded sandy beaches
Same time zone, so no jet lag
Varied birdlie, wildlie and shing
Exotic, vibrant cultures
Here we try to highlight the main dierences to help you make your decision
but i you need any more help do not hesitate to call us or visit our very
detailed websites, incorporating an online chat acility.

The Gambia The smiling coast o AricaThe Gambia is the perect, sae introduction to Arica. I youre a rst time
traveller to this area or to The Gambia itsel you need to be prepared or
visiting a developing country but also to all in love with the place; we have
and so too have many o our customers, in act last winter 53%* o those
travelling with us had been to The Gambia beore. As well as the many
attractions o the country and its people, its hard to nd another winter
sun destination that enables you to leave the cold o England on a winters
morning and be at your hotel in 30C sunshine by the aternoon. But there
are many more reasons to visit The Gambia including:
Excellent, uncrowded beaches o golden sand
Direct fights approximately 6 hours and transers are short
English speaking and locals are very riendly
Outside the Euro zone, oering good value or money
Wide range o quality accommodation and restaurants
Unspoilt and uncommercialised
River, bush and beach excursions to experience the wildlie and people
Permanent team o European and Gambian sta oering expert support

Senegal The French coast o AricaSenegal remains a relatively undiscovered destination or British
holidaymakers, although it has long been a avourite destination or the
French and Belgians. There are many reasons why a growing number o o
customers are choosing to venture to Senegal, many opting to combine it
with a visit to The Gambia, here are just a ew:
Clear blue water and abulous beaches
Interesting tourist sites: le de Gore, Le Lac Rose
Extensive birdlie, wildlie and animal reserves
Activities including watersports, sailing, horse-riding and gol
World class ocean and river shing
Exotic, riendly people and excellent cuisine
The Gambia and Senegal share many
attractions: a sun-bathed tropical coastline, lush
riverine landscapes teeming with birds and monkeys,
the inectious exuberance o the people but they
also oer a very dierent type o experience.

HE GAMBIA
What to expect...Te smiling coast of AfricaFor a winter sun holiday and an introduction to
Arica, The Gambia is hard to beat the climate,
riendly people and short fight times all add to its
appeal; summer oers a quiet alternative to the
busier resorts o Europe.
Previous visitors agree with us: over 50%* o people who travelled in winter
2011/12 with The Gambia Experience have been beore and many return
time and time again. (*Figure rom winter 2011/12 holiday questionnaires)
Some background inormationThe Gambia is a ormer British colony; Gambians within the resort areas all
speak English so communication within your hotel, in restaurants and whilst
out and about is very easy. It is one o the smallest countries in Arica, situated
on approximately the same latitude as Barbados. Mostly fat, the country is
dominated by the impressive River Gambia rom which it takes its name.
Experience something dierentAlthough when lying on the beach or relaxing by the pool you could be in
any tropical destination, it is also easy to experience the local culture and eel
as though youve truly arrived in Arica. Travel to rural villages to watch palm
wine tappers, drive through the Arican bush to hear the monkeys chattering
and watch focks o colourul birds fy overhead; even rom the comort
o your hotel you can listen to the drums o local entertainers and watch
incredible energetic dancing. For rst time visitors to Arica, The Gambia
is a good introduction as it is English speaking, fights are around six hours
and the hotels are all airly close to the airport so transers are also short
compared to some destinations.
However, The Gambia isnt right or everyone and it is important to know
what to expect and to choose the right location thats where we can help.
People travelling to a developing country or the rst time can nd it a
culture shock there is poverty and begging but there is also genuine
hospitality and you will meet some o the riendliest people on Earth.
Outside the hotels and on the beaches there are Gambians selling ruit,
nuts and handicrats but it is the ones trying to work as unocial guides or
bumsters that can become a nuisance, although numbers are decreasing.
Again, we try to prepare everyone with advice in our guide book and
welcome meetings on the best way to deal with them you will soon realise
that theres no need to worry.
The population o The Gambia is mostly Muslim, although there is a small
number o Christians who live alongside them in peace even intermarrying.
Other cultures are accepted and alcohol is served in the hotels, restaurants
and shops the country even has its own brewery. Although tolerant, we do
ask customers to adopt a modest standard o dress when outside the hotels,
particularly in more rural areas. The estival o Ramadan lasts or one month
rom 9th July 2013.

Value or moneyThe Gambia is outside the Euro zone and oers better value or money
than many other popular tourist destinations, both when in resort and in
the cost o your holiday, particularly The Luxury Collection and Unique
Collection hotels. The Gambias currency is the dalasi and in the last year
the exchange rate was between 45 and 47 dalasi to the pound.
No language barrierThe ocial language in The Gambia is English and this is widely spoken;
newspapers and road signs are also printed in English so youll immediately
eel at ease. Gambians are educated in English but there are several tribal
languages including Mandinka, Wolo and Jola so most Gambians are at
least bilingual.
Hotel standardsAs a developing country, hotel service levels and gradings in The Gambia
cannot be compared to those in European destinations, although there
is some excellent quality accommodation on oer. As a destination it is
not over-developed with no high-rise hotels, and there are a number o
internationally recognised sustainable tourism projects i this is something
that interests you, consider staying at Mandina Lodges, Sitanunku Lodge or
Sandele Eco-Retreat or read more online at Gambia.co.uk/ST
In February 2010 hotels in The Gambia received ocial ratings or the rs
time, awarded by the Gambia Tourism Board. The ratings were awarded
largely due to acilities provided rather than service levels so we continue
use our own rating system, which is represented with a hibiscus fower an
based on the views o our customers and our own 25 years o experiencThe GTBs ocial ratings are in brackets where dierent to our own:
5 / Boutique hotels Coco Ocean, The Kairaba, Ngala Lodge
4 hotels Sheraton (5), Ocean Bay (5), Laico Atlantic
3.5 / 3 hotels Kombo Beach (4), Senegambia (3), Sunbeach (4),
Bijilo Beach, Bungalow Beach, Sunset Beach, Bakotu (1)
2.5 / 2 hotels Palma Rima, Arican Village, Cape Point (3), Sarges Hot
Bakotu, by some quirk o the system, received only a single star, however
we are condent that it deserves its 3 rating and customer eedback tell
us this is accurate. Some properties, such as Mandina Lodges and Sitanun
Lodge, have not been assessed under the system o classication; we too
consider these to be unique properties which oer quality accommodatioand personal service but do not sit perectly within The Luxury Collection
HE GAMBIA
Activities and excursionsFor many guests, relaxing in the sunshine ollowed by a rereshing swim is
as much activity as they re looking or on their holiday, but i you want a lit
more to do, there is plenty to choose rom. There are excellent spa acilit
at Coco Ocean and The Sheraton hotels, good shing and birdwatching
opportunities, an 18-hole sand gol course at Fajara, as well as sports acili
within some hotels. We also oer a range o organised excursions which
include travelling through the Arican bush in a 4-wheel drive truck and
cruising the waterways by catamaran or Arican pirogue, or we can sugge
a host o things to do or the more independent holidaymaker. For more
suggestions on memorable days out see pages 14-15 and 70-71 or visit

There are magnifcent beaches, bustling markets and a magical
atmosphere that will entice you to return again and again. But travel with
someone who knows what they are doing and is as sympathetic to the country
as it is to the needs o the visitor. That is where The Gambia Experience wins
over any other tour operator.DIARMUID MACDONAGH

A antastic climateAn ideal winter sun destination, The Gambia enjoys almost
uninterrupted sunshine and high daytime temperatures rom November
to June, and rainall is virtually unheard o. It is less known as a summer
destination but many customers preer this quieter time when the
landscape is transormed into lush green with colourul fowering trees.

HE GAMBIA
MedicationWe strongly suggest you consult your doctor beore booking. Although
no inoculations are compulsory or entry rom the EU, certain medication,
including anti-malarial tablets, will be recommended. Up-to-date advice is
available rom the World Health Organisation atwww.who.int/ith and
the Department o Health leafet (Re T7.1) Health Advice or Travellers
is available rom your GP, travel agent or can be downloaded at Dh.gov.uk
The Gambia is one o many countries where the risk o contracting malaria
is very real but this is an avoidable illness provided precautions are taken.
We suggest using an eective insect repellent to avoid being bitten and
ensuring you complete the ull course o anti-malarial medication prescribed.
Get out and see the real GambiaI you want to travel independently in The Gambia most hotels have a taxi
rank nearby. However, although they are regulated, most wouldnt pass a
UK MOT test. Bush taxis and local buses cover the main routes and are
overcrowded with people and animals, but are a cheap way o getting
around and absorbing the local favour. There is a ully lit tarmac road romthe airport to the hotel areas but o the main highways road suraces can be
a little bumpy, to say the least! The Banjul to Barra erry is another way to see
the everyday lives o locals it is a hectic, colourul, noisy experience taking
you across the river to the north bank and this is also the route to Senegal.
Laid back nightlieThe appeal o The Gambia is how quickly you unwind and leave behind
the stress o the UK. For most o our guests evening entertainment usually
involves a nice meal, a ew drinks and perhaps watching a local band.
There is a good selection o bars and restaurants, particularly in Kololi and
Kotu, either within walking distance or a short taxi ride rom your hotel.
There are also a ew nightclubs, two small casinos and most hotels oersome entertainment rom a single kora player to an Arican dance troupe.
FamiliesAdventurous children will nd a holiday in The Gambia a memorable
experience; visiting a school and meeting Gambian children is very
educational and seeing a monkey or monitor lizard in its natural habitat
or the rst time is an experience at any age. And then there are the
uncrowded, sandy beaches to explore and enjoy. The majority o hotels
oer child discounts and, although there are no organised kids clubs,
several have ad hoc activities and acilities or children and separate childrens
pools our sta would be happy to oer specic advice.

Eating outA wide range of cuisine to choose from
I never get bored o eating out in The Gambia every year there are new restaurants to try out or
our Gambia Guide. It is hard to single one out but why not try a hotel restaurant or that special occasion?
Amongst my avourites are the Thai menu at Coco Ocean in Bijilo with its extensive, reshly prepared dishes,
along with Ngala Restaurant in Bakau, oering an equally delicious international menu. But or a more relaxed
alternative, head or Gayas Art Ca or great tapas and baked cheesecake with a choice o toppings including
my avourite, butterscotch and walnut!

Here are some examples o restaurants and cuisineto be ound close to resort areas:
The Gambia has a good choice o restaurants serving

which have attracted a number o international ches
who now live and work in the country.
You can choose between Chinese, Indian, Thai, Lebanese, Italian, English
and o course Gambian cuisine, to name just a ew. The standard is generally
good and prices are a little lower than in the UK a 3 course meal in one o
the countrys top restaurants costs around 30 per person excluding drinks
whilst a simple meal and a beer can cost around 10.
O particular note is the abundance o reshly caught seaood including
ladysh, barracuda, captain sh, snapper, buttersh, lobster and huge
Atlantic prawns. Vegetarians are increasingly well catered or and many
hotels will oer a vegetarian dish or cook something to order.
Restaurant guide and discount vouchersAll o our package holidaymakers receive a complimentary Gambia Guide

restaurants, the type o cuisine they serve and their locations. Better still,

RESOR AREAS
Gambia resort areasWhich resort to choose?
The Gambia oers a good choice o resort areas o dierent sizes and atmospheres, however it is easy to visit
other resorts i you wish to explore urther aeld.
Some assume that on holiday in The Gambia people are conned to their hotels but this really isnt the case at all. Whilst some customers do choose a hotel-
based holiday, the coastal area is only small so it is airly quick to travel rom one resort to another, and to/rom the airport; it is possible to stay in a quiet area
but still enjoy the attractions o a busier resort or example it takes 20-30 minutes in a taxi rom Banjul to Kololi, depending on trac. Alternatively, why notchoose a twin centre with one o our more remote lodges to enjoy the best o both worlds?
Although not overdeveloped like some tourist destinations, most resorts have a taxi rank, bank, telephone centre, supermarket, crat market, bars and
restaurants. All areas are busier during winter and some o the bars and restaurants will close in summer so its best to check with us i you want a particular
acility. Here are brie details to help you select the ideal location or your holiday but call us i you would like more advice as all o our sta have visited each o
the resorts. All transer times are approximate rom Banjul airport.

UNIQUEOU & ABOU
10 memorable daysOut & about in Te GambiaThe Gambia oers an easy and sae opportunity to experience the
untamed, raw culture o West Arica.
The Gambia may not have the big game saaris or large attractions o some other Arican countries, but
what it does have are genuine cultural experiences, not articial purpose-built tourist attractions.
It is a small country, the coastline is a mere 80 kilometres long, so it is easy to get out and explore the
region. Here are our top 10 experiences which can either be part o an organised excursion or,
or the more independent, can be explored alone.
The highlight o my break to The Gambia has
to be watching the locals land their aternoon catchat Bakau fsh market. The colours, smells and hive
o activity gave me an appreciation o everyday lie.
Certainly an experience that my wie and I will
never orget.
PAUL KENNY
Commercial Manager
Spot some o the 540 species o birdYou dont have to be a serious birdwatcher to enjoy the colour and sheer
number o birds in The Gambia - even in the hotel gardens youll spot many
dierent species. However i you are one o the many who want to take
things a little more seriously, we recommend one o the birdwatching tours
led by TV presenter Chris Packham or his guide in The Gambia, Malick Suso
(see pages 70-71 or more inormation).
Cruise on a catamaran to Sitanunku LodgeSpend a leisurely couple o hours on board a catamaran travelling across
the impressive River Gambia and through its tributaries to Sitanunku Lodge
on the north bank. En route theres the chance to spot dolphins who oten
play in the wash o the boat or just lay back and enjoy the sunshine. And on
arrival at Sitanunku theres the opportunity to venture out in a kayak, cool o
in the plunge pool and enjoy lunch al resco beside the river.

Visit a local schoolThe teachers and children o schools welcome visitors, oten with
demonstrations o their singing and methods o teaching. This is an excellent
way to learn about everyday lie in The Gambia but be warned, it can be a
very emotional and humbling experience. We recommend taking donations
o pens, exercise books or ootballs with you which you can buy at markets
in The Gambia.
Spend a day on an unspoilt secluded beachMany o the beaches directly outside the hotels are sandy and uncrowded

HOEL OPIONS
Since we began travelling to The Gambia in 1987
the standard and choice o accommodation in the
country has improved dramatically.
We believe we work with the best properties The Gambia has to oerand our brochure and website eature a wide range o properties to suit all
travellers, rom luxurious boutique hotels, all-inclusive resorts, relaxing spas
right through to simple, Arican-style hotels and unique river lodges.
Over the past 25 years weve learnt just how important it is to match the
right hotel to each individual it can make the dierence between a good
holiday and an unorgettable experience; to help you, the hotel descriptions
on the ollowing pages have been written by members o our team who
have visited the hotels and know them well. They accurately list the acilities
o the properties, their locations and the ambience you can expect to help
you narrow down your choice o holiday; i you are nding it dicult to
choose, why not give our knowledgeable sta a call or even visit two ormore properties!
Our hotel collectionsChoosing the right hotel for your holidayThe Luxury CollectionThe best The Gambia has to oer in the main resort areas. Each property
has its own individual appeal so its important to read the property
descriptions or speak to one o our experienced sta i you are looking or a
particular style, location or specic acilities. Coco Ocean is visually stunning
with service and cuisine levels to match, Ngala Lodge is a small boutique-
style hotel with very personal service and excellent customer reviews, whilst
the larger but tranquil Kairaba Hotel is a well-established avourite right in the
heart o Kololi and all are located directly on or overlooking the beach.
The Unique CollectionAn exciting collection o lodges which oer an excellent introduction to
the real Arica. Whilst sharing many o the characteristics o the Luxury
Collection, they oer a more inormal, laid-back atmosphere. Individually
styled with many artistic fourishes, each property manages to convey a
sense o relaxed indulgence with riendly service and reshly prepared
cuisine. Located away rom the main tourist areas, memorable settings,
such as the Makasutu Forest surrounding
Mandina Lodges or the banks o the River
Gambia or Sitanunku Lodge, provide a
stunning Arican backdrop or a truly unique
holiday experience.
Something specialWe are delighted to be oering the opportunity to view the chimpanzees in
the River Gambia National Park once again, or short stays in tented lodges
upriver including boat trips to visit the chimps in their natural habitat. Or why
not consider a relaxing cruise up the majestic River Gambia on the mega-
yacht Pegasus, with optional excursions along the way? Further inormationcan be ound on pages 34-35 and 53.
All-inclusive & lively hotelsSome o The Gambias larger hotels are ideal i youre looking or a
more active or hotel-based holiday, a lively atmosphere and evening
entertainment. The popular Kombo Beach and Ocean Bay hotels are both
situated directly on a sandy beach and have a good choice o activities or
couples, groups and amilies. Several hotels now have all-inclusive options,
such as the 4 Sheraton Gambia, 4 Laico Atlantic Beach and
2 Palma Rima hotels.
Small & ull o characterSome o our hotels oer a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere and the
chance to immerse yoursel in the local community or wildlie. The stunning
Mandina Lodges in the Makasutu Forest contrast perectly with the coastal
hotels on a twin centre holiday; Hibiscus House is a welcoming hotel within
a thriving local community, and Cape Point and Arican Village are Gambian-
run hotels with a relaxed and riendly atmosphere.
ExclusiveHotels or room types identied as Exclusive indicate that, at the time o
going to press, are not on sale through any other UK tour operator.

10% SPA DISCOUNTS FOR OUR GUESTSThe Coco Oceans 1800m2 spa facility offers an exciting range of treatments
and facilities, which are unrivalled anywhere in The Gambia. These include
a Thalasso pool, ice-cold plunge pool, Hammam, Finnish sauna, small gym
and relaxation area. The full range of treatments available is listed on our
website but includes massages, body wraps, facials, waxing and manicures,
and Gambia Experience guests receive a 10% discount.
As the most luxurious hotel in The Gambia, Coco Oceanhas established itself as the place to stay for celebritiesand discerning holidaymakers looking for elegance and
exquisite surroundings. It is perfect for any special occasion,
but offers excellent value for money compared with spa hotels
internationally and the beachfront location is hard to beat.
Whilst for many guests the main attraction is the fantastic spa facility, its
stunning location on an unspoilt stretch of beach just 2 kilometres from
the lively resort of Kololi, and the excellent levels of service and cuisine make
this much more than simply a spa hotel. The Moroccan-inspired architectureand dcor, featuring high ceilings and domes, keep the buildings cool and
maximise the use of natural light.
You will find sunbeds in tranquil spots around the gardens and private seating
areas close to the hotels main tiered swimming pool; down on the beach
there are individual cabanas providing welcome shade. The grounds slope
towards the sea, enhancing the views, although golf buggies are available to
help avoid the many steps. Visiting dignitaries, Heads of State and businesses
often hold large functions in the stunning gardens.
Set within the lush tropical gardens, all the open-plan suites and villas are light
and airy, but for added comfort we recommend one of the sumptuous room
upgrades. The fourteen Club villas have impressive private outside relaxation
areas and share a swimming pool beside the ocean, but for the best location
in the hotel try one of the three Beach houses, which are extremely spaciousand sit directly on the beachfront.
Within the hotel there is a choice of restaurants and menus, with
international chefs producing dishes from Morocco and Thailand, as well as
European cuisine. In addition there are specialities of the day featuring cuisine
from around the world. The main restaurant offers al fresco or more formal
dining and is the perfect place to start the day with a relaxing champagne
breakfast, whilst the Coco Beach, serving lunchtime grills and an evening
Thai menu, has possibly the best views of any restaurant in The Gambia.

Ngala Lodge is a small, intimate hotel which is increasinglypopular with repeat guests so early booking isrecommended. As a child-free property, the tropical, well kept
gardens overlooking the ocean remain peaceful throughout the
day. It is a fantastic choice for a romantic break and, with one of
the best restaurants in The Gambia, youll find it hard to leave.
The atmosphere at Ngala Lodge is extremely relaxed with very individual
service; to help you unwind you can enjoy a massage or manicure in your
suite or choose to have breakfast on your private balcony or terrace nothing
is too much trouble. In addition to ten unique, open-plan suites in the mainlodge including The Penthouse, there are four upgraded Manor suites with
separate bedroom, enjoying sea views and set within their own private garden
with a shared Jacuzzi and lawn attendant. For honeymooners or anyone
looking for something truly special, we recommend the spacious Atlantic suites
which have their own private Jacuzzi on the terrace or balcony.
As well as having its own swimming pool, perfect for a refreshing dip, the
tidal beach at Ngala is a sandy cove which can be reached via steep steps
ideal for a romantic stroll at low tide or for a spot of fishing. The addition
in early 2012 of an attractive wooden raised decking area, complete with
sunbeds and parasols, allows guests to enjoy the beachfront location at high
tide as never before. If the beach is not for you, the tropical gardens provide
plenty of space for sunbathing with sunbeds dotted throughout, or for you to
enjoy a relaxing drink and a quiet book.In the evening, the cliff top restaurant not only serves excellent food with daily
specials inspired by its English chef, Jonathan Groves, but has a wonderful
view of the ocean at sunset. A la carte dining is also available (a few unique
dishes will incur a supplement for half board guests) and sumptuous sample
menus can be viewed online at Gambia.co.uk/NgalaRestaurant. The low
key entertainment, along with a weekly African night with dancers, create an
inviting atmosphere.
With just 18 suites, excellent customer questionnaire feedback and a high
percentage of returning guests, this unique property really is a little gem.
More and more guests are choosing to visit Ngala Lodge during the summer
months when you can really appreciate the lush tropical gardens and
tranquillity of this intimate, boutique hotel.

Along-established favourite, it is hard to choose oneparticular feature of The Kairaba to explain its appeal andmore of our guests return to this hotel than any other. For
some it is the position beside Kololi beach, for others its the
tranquillity of the spacious grounds, or the close proximity to
the many restaurants and bars of Kololi.
The Kairabas bedrooms are situated in two-storey buildings within the
extensive bougainvillea-filled gardens; from your balcony or terrace you can
enjoy the gentle sea breeze and views across the attractive lawns. This hotel
is all about peace and relaxation, which is only interrupted by the vervetmonkeys and birdlife visiting from the neighbouring forest. There are no pool
games or loud music during the day, although there is the occasional local band
or entertainment in the evening. The hotels excellent conference facilities
make it popular for government or evening functions and ideal for groups.
Unlike some holiday companies, we base our holidays on the Deluxe
rooms; these are situated in the gardens and are superior in size, quality
and location, although a limited number of standard rooms are available
at a discount. As this hotel is very popular and is often fully booked, we
recommend booking early to secure your preferred room type.
When it comes to dining, you have everything from la carte to a lively,
outside bistro. Breakfast is served in the elevated Kingfisher restaurant, allowing
you to start your day feasting on views over the gardens. Dining options are
Half Board, Full Board Plus or our popular Wine & Dine package, availablein winter, offering two dinners in the Shikra la carte restaurant (exclusions
apply), two dinners in Casa Fernandos, three buffet dinners, each including a
bottle of wine*, a fruit basket in your room* and a bottle of wine on arrival*
(*per room). For those wanting to sample life outside the hotel, there is a wide
variety of restaurants on your doorstep in Kololi.

UNIQUE
Imagine waking up in a four-poster bed in a lodge floating on the river
with the sound of The Gambias incredible dawn chorus as your alarm
clock; or escaping to a secluded eco-retreat on a deserted stretch
of beach; perhaps dining under the stars at your riverside lodge or
viewing chimpanzees upriver all this and more is possible with a stay
at one of our Unique Collection lodges.
This exclusive collection of lodges has proved very
popular this year, with increasing demand for both twin
centre and stand-alone holidays from those wishing to
discover more of West Africa without venturing too far
off the beaten track. Each property offers you relaxed
indulgence with very individual service and style, plus
the opportunity to venture beyond the usual tourist
resorts and experience more of this wonderful country,
its people and wildlife.
Te Unique CollectionExperience more on your holiday
A stay in a Unique Collection property is the chance to truly unwind,
to escape from your usual pressures and relax in peaceful surroundings
whilst immersing yourself in the local culture. Expect low-key but very
personal, friendly service and simple, freshly prepared cuisine two
elements that are really representative of Gambian hospitality. Whilst
the facilities and standard of accommodation at Unique properties dont
quite meet the high standards of our Luxury Collection hotels, these
nonetheless offer very good quality just with a more laid-back style.
It is possible to spend the whole duration of your holiday at one of
these unique properties, although we would not recommend this
at the Chimp Rehabilitation Project Camp, however it is perhaps as
appealing to combine a few days in one with a stay at one of our
coastal hotels, or with a trip to neighbouring Senegal. To help you
select which of these properties or combination of unique experiences
will appeal to you, read our full descriptions on the following pages or
on our website. Alternatively you can find our favourite combinations
on pages 68-69 or speak to a member of our expert team.

Unique Lodges - Exclusive
Relaxing Birdwatching Guides
For peace and tranquillity in the heart of the African bush, thestriking riverside Mandina Lodges at Makasutu Forest offeran unforgettable experience in the wilderness with the chance
to discover the people and wildlife of The Gambia that have
made the forest their home: the amazing birdlife, monkeys,
monitor lizards and ever-increasing troupes of baboons.
During the day you can choose to relax by the large pool, blissfully soaking
up the atmosphere, disturbed only by birdsong and the hum of chattering
monkeys; or take advantage of the expert guides provided, to explore the
forest and mangroves on foot or by canoe. You will become well-acquaintedwith the guides during your stay and this personal service gives you great
flexibility to plan your days exactly as you would like. Following a leisurely
breakfast, why not enjoy a walk through the forest, learning about the local
plant life from one of the guides and maybe spotting the baboons that inhabit
the area? In the evening, possibly following a sunset cruise, dinner is served al
fresco then the fire may be lit with the dancing flames creating a magical mood.
There are only 8 lodges, maintaining an exclusive yet slightly rustic feel, ensuring
an authentic bush experience. There are 3 styles of very unique but impressive
lodge at Mandina spacious Jungle lodges with roof terrace are set back from the
river, whilst the popular River lodges are either floating or on stilts.
Situated just 30 kilometres from the coastal resorts on a tributary of the
River Gambia, the 1000 acre Makasutu Cultural Forest is the result of 20
years hard work by two Englishmen, one of whom sadly passed away in2011, who were inspired by the beauty of the area and motivated to return
and build unique accommodation. The focus has always been on ensuring
the local population benefits from the forest and emphasis has been placed
on using local materials and employing staff from the surrounding village
communities. Service is therefore very friendly and personal with such a
small number of guests, making your stay even more memorable.
After 10 years, we still believe that a stay at Mandina provides a unique
chance to experience the real Africa in comfortable and striking surroundings
and we are not alone the lodges have won a place in the book
1001 Escapes To Make Before You Die, a guide for those in search of the
worlds most unusual and beautiful places. They were also awarded the
National Order of The Gambia by the President in April 2012.
Please note that the standard excursion programme is not possible from Mandina.

We are delighted that Sitanunku has received excellentfeedback during its first year of operation. Situatedon the North Bank of the River Gambia, it enjoys spacious
accommodation in a tranquil waterfront location and stunning
views across the river.
Since opening in January 2011, the owners have created a perfect romantic
hideaway with a truly special ambiance offering an opportunity to experience
friendly service in an idyllic setting. Sitanunku now has 8 airy, comfortable
en-suite lodges for an exclusive experience, each with an outdoor, grassed
seating area and terrace, complete with sunloungers. Lodges are positionedto maximise views of the river or Dog Island from their slightly elevated
position looking down to the water through impressive baobab trees, from
where the name sitanunku is derived.
Accommodation is provided on a half board basis, with a small restaurant
for al fresco dining close to the waters edge, although another is planned
for completion in 2013. The lodge has its own vegetable garden and food is
freshly prepared; along with other tempting dishes, fish is served most days.
Service is very friendly and personal, and most staff come from the nearby
village thus ensuring close links with the local community.
There is a plunge pool enjoying a fabulous waterfront location close to the
existing restaurant and bar, and private sunbathing areas are dotted throughout
the grounds. A second, larger pool is due for completion in 2013 although
with only a small number of guests in residence, the existing pool works well.
For the more active, why not take out one of the single or double canoes
to paddle around nearby Dog Island, maybe stepping ashore to explore it
further, or, for the more adventurous, Pelican Island with its mass of birdlife
is also accessible boat hire is also possible. Both fishing for novices and
experienced anglers can be catered for, with some of the areas best fishing
grounds close by or simply drop a line from the impressive jetty. Evenings
can be spent sitting around the campfire under the stars with your fellow
guests, or enjoying a drink listening to the sound of the water lapping gently
against the shore.
Just a 45-minute transfer by fast boat from Mandina Lodges, this delightful
property will appeal to those looking for a unique, tranquil holiday
experience, either as a stand-alone holiday, or a short stay combined with
Mandina or a resort hotel.

You can enjoy the view from the plunge pool outover the river; drink cocktails in the intimate bar; eatperfectly cooked butterfish with bitter tomatoes andokra; and relax on sunloungers in the shade of theelephantine baobab trees.
Ive tried to find a word for how Sitanunku mademe feel, and I keep coming back to enchanted. It isa complete haven, an almost textbook honeymoonparadise, so wonderfully isolated and tranquil neitherof us wanted to leave.

Set back from a palm-fringed expanse of unspoilt beach inthe south of The Gambia, this eco-retreat and learningcentre offers beautifully designed accommodation in relaxed
and tranquil surroundings.
It is run by a British couple, Geri and Maurice, in conjunction with the local
community of Kartong located 4 kilometres away, who will assume complete
ownership in the future. Built using sustainable and eco-friendly construction
techniques, local craftsmen and materials are sourced from the surrounding
area and you can see how the mud bricks are made during your stay.
Nestled amongst the trees, about 100m from the untouched, sandy beachbelow, which is reached via natural sandy trails, are the 4 airy, spacious suites,
each benefiting from a private roof terrace and sunbathing area. Whilst there
is no swimming pool, there is a plunge pool for every two suites. The light
and airy circular rooms have comfortable, rustic furnishings under a high,
domed ceiling. Alternatively, 10 spacious yet more basic, sea-facing guest
rooms, often used for small study groups, are located a short walk from the
suites. These have views down towards the sea in the distance but do not
have a plunge pool and are available at a reduction.
Our guests stay on a half board basis with the option to upgrade to full
board, which we would recommend due to the propertys location away
from tourist bars and restaurants; the Pakaya Restaurant, with its rooftop
terrace and bar on both levels, offers healthy cuisine with the emphasis on
using fresh, local produce. On request or for a special occasion, your mealcan also be served in the privacy of your own suite or in the shade of the
wooden beachside terrace whilst listening to the sound of the waves.
With the busier resorts only a 45-60 minute drive away, Sandele offers
you the chance to relax and unwind in a quiet, unspoilt location, enjoy
birdwatching or visits to local artisans at work to observe and learn their
skills. At the same time you can understand the importance of protecting
the environment and working with the local community. A stay at Sandele
can be taken as a stand-alone holiday, or 3 or 4 night add-ons can easily be
combined with a busier resort hotel for a multi-centre stay.
Please note we would not recommend this property to customers with walking
difficulties. Our standard excursion programme is not available from Sandele
Eco-Retreat, however alternatives can be arranged locally.
MULTI-CENTRE HOLIDAYSA large proportion of our guests choose to combine a stay at Sandele Eco-
Retreat with a larger hotel, or even with another centre such as Mandina
Lodges or Sitanunku Lodge in order to experience different aspects of The
Gambia, its wildlife and people. Any combination is possible and our add-on
prices start at 299 per person in a suite on a half board basis, including
transfers but excluding flights.

Everything about Sandele works with the naturalenvironment.the beautiful circular lodges are amasterstroke. The almost deserted perfect beachand bath-warm sea are a huge draw, but so are thecolourful markets, not to mention the sunset yoga.
