Review:
The complex, which is about 30 minutes drive from
Banjul Airport, was established in the late eighties
by a woman who believed that the rich tourist potential
of this country should be rationally exploited to
the benefit of all.
The lodge lies next to Tanje Fishing Village and south
of a pretty lagoon and a bridge. It offers some spectacular
views of the mangroves and Karinti River Bird Reserve
which lie to the north side of the accommodation.
The major downside of Nyanya's is its proximity to
the
fish market means getting wafts of fishy smells and
the litter that is often washed ashore from the fish
centre.
