Gambia is really Africa. That’s why it is nice to know where you can stay best and where are the opportunities to find a restaurant on your own in the evening prior to the trip. With these tips you choose your ideal stay.
KOLOLI
During our entire trip we stayed in the town of Kololi. Kololi has wonderful sandy beaches, a good location for the offered excursions and a number of wonderful restaurants within walking distance of many accommodations. We stayed in Djembe Beach Resort. At the same time friends of us stayed in the Senegambia Beach Hotel . Both accommodations are great and especially by African standards.
DJEMBE BEACH RESORT
The Djembe Beach Resort has very nice bungalows and hotel rooms. We had a 2-room villa ourselves. This room was right on the beach. The accommodation has a delicious breakfast, is located directly on the beach and next to the nice beach club Poco Loco. The rooms are kept clean. The other restaurants are a 10-minute walk from the Senegambia Strip.
SENEGAMBIA BEACH HOTEL
Another recommendation in Kololi is the Senegambia Beach Hotel. This accommodation is completely built in an African style which gives a very nice atmosphere. This accommodation is also located directly on the beach where the monkeys welcome you. A plus of the Senegambia Beach Hotel is that the accommodation is located right on the Senegambia Strip. As soon as you leave the accommodation you are on the strip which is really great. Many restaurants can be found here.
THE SENEGAMBIA STRIP
The Senegambia strip is the place to be in the evening. This strip is located in the village of “Kololi”. You can go here in the evening to have dinner in one of the restaurants. It is also absolutely safe to go here on your own in the evening and dine extensively. Especially for you I have written my favorite restaurantson this blog.
