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.
