Serenity Holidays Traveller Reviews

We have had a wonderful 10 days relaxing in the lovely Karaiba Hotel, we stayed on a bed and breakfast basis and were close to Kololi strip where there are plenty of restaurants to choose an evening meal. All hotel staff and friendly and polite. The grounds are beautiful with sun beds widely spaced, attended by pool staff offering drinks and snacks as desired. We recommend swimming in the sea which was warm with lots of waves, was great fun. We booked two excursions which were both enjoyable and informative and opened our eyes to life for ordinary people and children in the Gambia

We travelled with Gambia experience who provided a seamless service from booking, pre holiday information and excellent flight and in hotel representative and information board

We spent the first week relaxing, and taking in the sun and trying local food. The facilities at the hotel were very good and there was a choice of two pools and the beach to relax on. We then took and interesting journey on the ferry across to Senegal to stay on a wildlife reserve. The animals came right down to the hotel every evening, including a white rhino. The trips out exceeded all expectations, and the food was amazing!

Gambia Experience organised all our transfers well. When moving to Senegal, we were taken to the ferry, and then met by another guide who took us across, to meet transport on the other side.

We had a wonderful relaxing holiday in The Gambia for one week staying at the African Princess hotel which had a pool coming out of a terrace from our room which was like having our own private pool. We did the day tour 6 in 1 which combined many sights. Really worth doing. Loved The Gambia and cannot wait to return. If you are looking for relaxation and culture The Gambia is a holiday to do.

The Gambia experience were extremely helpful to the booking on the telephone, explaining all I needed to know through to the reps at both Gatwick and then at Banjul airports and then being on call as they told us 24/7 for the whole period we were there. Karamo our rep explained everything clearly to us. Would not hesitate to use them again and in fact this is the second time I have used them as we used The Goa experience 18 months ago. Highly recommend them.

One week in Gambia

Serenity Holidays (The Gambia Experience) were very good.

Birdwatching and nature holiday

Gambia Experience - very organised

Holiday was fabulous. Good hotel, good accommodation, staff were welcoming and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Entertainment was good and nightly. Lots of sun beds with no reserved spaces which was great if you didn’t go to the pool til late. Hassle free holiday and will definitely be returning before the end of the year with all of our family. Loving the new African princess hotel Spa and gym facilities were excellent and would highly recommend lisa (beauty salon) and also Sam the waiter

Excellent service as per previous bookings Will only use Gambia experience to travel now

Guaranteed sunshine, excellent people and varied hotels.

Extremely efficient and caring

Great holiday at Kairaba for 7 days and 3 days at Fathala. Over in Africa a guide/rep is needed to stop the hassle from locals. Better prices for tours found outside

Good support from Gambian Experience ,,,, at a price !!

Chris Packham brought magic to this trip with his in-depth knowledge of Birds, Wildlife and The Gambian countryside. We explored, on foot and by boat, discovering the most beautiful and interesting birds. The sun shone, the hotels and surroundings were beautiful, People were welcoming and friendly and the food good... I thoroughly enjoyed this trip, and will return.

Efficient, friendly, and very helpful replying to general questions I had about the holiday area. Makes such a difference when you deal with a tour operator you have confidence in. All in all an excellent holiday from booking through to the actual holiday experience (and I don't often say that!).

In general we had a great holiday. Our accomodation was excellent although, had a few teathing problems that you may expect with a new hotel. It's a great hotel if you want peace and quiet, easy access to the beach and local restaurants.

Pre-holiday information was very informative. Our resort rep, Karamo, was very proffessional yet had a very good sense of humour. He was very helpful in organising trips and arranging local birdwatching guides. To and from resort transport was punctual and the driver was very safe.
