Another excellent holiday in the Gambia

This is our 7th visit. Ngala Lodge is a perfect place to stay. The location is excellent but the staff and Johnathan take it to the next level. Always feels like coming home

A good choice of hotels for a carefree trip

Both Ngala Lodge in the Gambia and The Paillotte Village in south Senegal offered high standard of accommodation and restaurant services in attractive grounds new the beach.

We had a good service from Gambian Experience though they need to provide more information in English to supplement that available in the French-speaking Senegal hotel.

A wonderful winter holiday

A thoroughly enjoyable holiday, relaxing and excellent cuisine. Plenty of opportunities to meet the local people and enjoy the wildlife while experiencing a very comfortable climate for a winter break. Comfortable flight and no jet lag

Rooms superb. Service excellent, Food superb.Happy to spend most of our time in the hotel. Walked to Bakau fish market- a fantastic spectacle. Took one organised trip to Fathala reserve in Senegal. Trip had its problems ( especially the long wait for the ferry) but overall; a good day out.

Excellent

My holiday to The Gambia was the best so far after visiting three times this year. Totally relaxing . Good hotel, good service from staff both on the airlines and at the hotel. The standards at the hotel are excellent and the tipping service is much better as you tip at the end of the week as oppose to spending all your money tipping all the time The food at the hotel was amazing and exquisite
