Mandina River Lodge is set amongst a tropical garden
in a hidden corner of Makasutu Culture Forest. This private lodge is exclusive to the guests that are staying, a number that will not exceed 12 people.
Mandina has been uniquely tailored for the sophisticated adventurer, looking for a first class eco retreat. Four solar powered floating lodges
and one stilted house
are nestled into the privacy of the encompassing mangroves. Reached by elevated walkways or by dug out canoe – paddled
by your own ‘man Friday’. The lodges offer 180-degree views of the Mandina Bolong (an idyllic tributary off the main river Gambia). Each handcrafted wood lodge features a four-poster carved bed
fitted
with crisp white linens. The en-suite eco friendly bathroom with tiled shower, state of the art composting toilets and solar heated water, opens on to the mangroves for a truly unique bathing
experience.
Fall asleep to the rhythmic sounds of the bush and awake to the distant call of the Muezzin from the neighbouring Kembujeh village.
Recently voted ‘Best New eco Hotel In The World’ by the Sunday Times news paper (UK). Mandina is setting new standards in luxury environmental accommodation, without sacrificing quality that you would expect from any small luxury hotel the world over.
