Der Aufenthalt in der Lodge war wirklich einzigartig! Das Personal war einfach nur extrem bemüht einem einzigartig! Das Personal war einfach nur extrem bemüht, einen jeden Wunsch zu erfüllen. Die Anlage ist sehr gepflegt und die Ausstattung der Hütten ist sehr gut das Bett und die Bettwäsche sind sehr bequem, die Zimmer haben Klimaanlage und einen Kühlschrank. Man bekommt auch spät abends an der Bar Getränke und vor allem ein fantastisches Essen, die Küche ist toll! Mein Auto wurde sogar zweimal gewaschen, ohne dass ich etwas gesagt habe, wenn ich wieder in Gambia bin, werde ich auf alle Fälle dort wieder buchen. Vielen Dank für alles und an das ganze Team!
