Without a doubt, you will have a nice relaxed vacation at the Safari Garden Hotel. The hotel only has 18 rooms and the staff will make you feel right at home in this small-scale hotel.
The property consists of 3 buildings in a lushious garden, around a small swimming pool that has previously been described as the cleanest swimming pool in all of The Gambia. Apart from this swimming pool, naturally with free use of beach chairs and parasols, you will find a bar and reception where you can change money, rent a safe or have your laundry done against a small extra fee.
A breakfast buffet will be ready for you every morning. We also have a lunch- and dinner menu. We have a special event such as a barbecue or a themed buffet at least once a week.
The hotel is situated in a quiet street in Fajara; definitely one of the prettiest and most developed areas at the Gambian coast, and very popular among those who find privacy and independent exploring important. Closeby, you will find a few local shops and some restaurants.
The beautiful, wide sandy beach is at about 500 m, or you could go to the Fajara Golf- & Country Club for a game of golf (18 holes), squash or tennis.
The rooms are decorated in a relatively simple manner, with two single beds, free fan, mosquito net and a bathroom with shower and toilet. Your terrace is provided with seats. You can rent a refrigerator on site.
