Why do you want a 5 star hotel when you can have a 5 G hotel? Safari Garden Hotel is fantastic for the environment in Gambia and their policies really make a difference. Their homecooked meals were so delicious, even our kids could not get enough! Thank you for one of our most enjoyable vacations!

Lovely rooms with airconditioning, as well as a small but clean pool to cool down in after a long hot day of enjoying the many activities Safari Garden Hotel has on offer in Gambia. The food was exceptional and home made, I can't complain!

So much time and effort is spend in the conservation of the environment but it does not take away the excellent service, comfort, and food that we enjoyed day in day out on our visit in Gambia. Do visit Safari Garden Hotel because it is your home away from home!
