Lodges in Sanyang

I stayed at Bosofet for a week. The breakfast was very nice. The hosts asked what I like for breakfast and met my needs in detail. I like to start the morning with a cup of tea and every morning, when I came out to my veranda, there was a flask with hot tea ready for me. As I was enjoying my tea, overlooking the sea, did a generous fruit plate arrive. Soon after that a plate with fresh bread, Spanish omelette and coffee. This breakfast kept me going for many hours. You can also buy lunch and dinner at Bosofet, which I did many times. Fresh fish from the nearby fish market, homemade chips, potatoes, rice, vegetables and nice sauces. I ate so well the whole week and was never ill, despite this being my first time in Africa, which proves that their food hygiene is good. This lodge is the last of a few lodges along a beach road. It makes it a secluded paradise beach with beautiful plants and several places so sit under, with sofas, sunbeds and parasols. The sandy beach and the sea is lovely, I swam every day. If you want company, then stroll over to the bar and meet other people. They can also inform you of things that are happening in the local area. The people who are running this lodge are very hospitable and welcoming. They are sensitive to your needs and will do their best to meet them. If you want to go somewhere you just ask them to organise a taxi for you, which helps you to feel safe. I truly recommend a stay at Bosofet Beach and Creek Lodge. Perhaps you have heard the saying “The smiling coast of Africa”? Well – it’s true – I smiled the whole week! And I am going back this June-August. Staying there for almost six weeks!

The place is marvellous... in a very beautiful beach, in a lovely nature... we even saw monkeys jumping there as we arrived at the place. The staff was very nice and the food delicious. The owner is a very nice person who always tries to help you and make your stay perfect.

I can't choose one thing I liked the most cause everything and everyone were amazing. The hospitality, the environment, the food (thank you, Adama), the accomodation. I want to congratulate Little and Matthias because they should be proud of what they are building together.

Everything in this resort it's amazing. Nice food, nice personal, nice location. Next time when i m coming to Gambia, i ll stay exactly in the same place.

Th whole site is very beautiful, well managed, clean, diverse and natural. You can also meet nice people staying there, and the staff are very nice. I loved the owners and their energy as well.

If you want to feel safe, peace and tranquillity this is the place to be. The birds singing songs in the morning is the best thing to wake up to and the sound of crickets at night are so pleasant. The rooms are spacious and cleaned daily. I highly recommend having dinner at their place since it’s most likely the very best food in town. Oliver and his significant other will make sure that you feel comfortable in every way. I’m forever grateful for meeting Oliver, family and friends. You won’t regret your stay!

I enjoyed here one of the best experiences during my trip through the Gambia. It was exactly what I wanted for my last days, a place where you can enjoy the quiet environment, just the sound of birds around you. Malick, the host, took great care of me, he was always around and available, bringing me fruits and nuts while I was reading by the terrace. I was very lucky to share a unique experience with them, as it was Sona's birthday and we had lunch together with Emilie as well, thank you so much for that, and for letting me stay in the room until late in the afternoon, as my flight was leaving very late in the evening. If I ever manage to visit this country again I will for sure visit this lodge again.

Maria and Greg are very warm hosts who make sure that you feel absolutly welcome and safe at their cosy lodge. Family atmosphere with great food, cooked by Maria and her staff. Beautiful huts with cosy beds. A great place to relax and unwind and experience Gambia from a more local view.

I Love waking waking up in this serene environment with a huge variety of birds singing songs. Footsteps is very well managed and maintained, the staff is super friendly, well trained and helpful. The rooms are spacious, clean and the bed is comfortable. The environment is stunning and the lush gardens are extensive featuring a bird hide and a yogashala with yoga mats provided. The organic gardens provide fresh produce, and the kitchen serves both delicious local dishes and a high standard of international dishes, all presented lovingly with a big smile which nurtures a feeling of being completely taken care off. I have been coming to the Gambia for 13 years staying in various accommodations. While some are good when they first open, many fall apart quickly due to poor management. Not so at footsteps. Footsteps has provided me with consistently fabulous holidays over many years. A big thank you to the entire team.

It was a beautiful haven from the hustle and bustle outside. It was clean and the suite was very comfortable.
