Review:
Located on 11th Street in Fajara the Safari
Garden Hotel lies on a sandy road in a quiet
residential district with generally good security.
The beach is only about 10 minutes by taxi.
It is the former home of an
Englishman
which over the years has been transformed into
its present condition by its former owner Geri
and her husband. The front thatched reception
is fairly informally laid out with postcards,
belongings safe and souvenirs for sale.
There is an outdoor bar and much of the activity
outside is focused around the pool which is
8 feet deep at the deep end. The area is paved
and bright with draped awnings and parasols
in in bright colours as well as the compulsory
deckchairs.
For activities outside the accommodation is
close to shops, bars & restaurants.
The establishment is one of those in Gambia
committed to responsible tourism & where
possible applies eco-tourist principles as it
sources as much of its restaurant produce from
local source & attempts to minimize harm
to the environment by composting its organic
waste. The staff are given paid holidays &
furniture is locally made. Furthermore natural
mosquito repellents are used & no pesticides
or fertilisers are used in the garden area.
The hotel's former owners opened the Sandele
Eco-retreat in Kartong Village. |
