Footsteps Ecolodge Gunjur, Gambia
Banjul 220
Gambia
|
|
The Footsteps Eco-Lodge is not the typical tourist hotel – it gives you access to the lush greenery of Gambia. With a 10-minute drive between the lodge and the beach, one can enjoy a number of different activities like swimming, fishing and birdwatching. Set in a traditional African Village compound, the lodge is the perfect place to enjoy the balmy evenings of Gambia coupled with an abundance of animal wildlife in the surrounding area.
