Lodges in The Gambia

For people who goes in search off adventures .

North Bank,Western - Lower - Central camp and Upper River Division Lodges and rooms . The smaller lodges and rooms can represent very good value , especially compared with the full price tour options . The quality varies along with the price, but a basic very cheap room can be clean , comfortable and highly suitable just because it has no electric or no hot and cold water .

The range of choice is enormous and grows all the time . Even where there is electricity , there are quite frequent power cuts off . Some places have back up generators some backup candles . If power is important to you , ASK before you stay .
