A unique alternative to a round trip – same price, more peace and the same quality

For those seeking a quieter yet equally fascinating alternative to a round trip, Mandinari River Lodge offers a wonderful option – with the same services and at the same price.

This charming lodge is nestled in lush greenery, right by the wetlands and mangroves, making it the ideal base for short, well-organised excursions. Discover the impressive Tanbi Wetlands – a paradise for raptor enthusiasts – the iconic Kotu Bridge, or the picturesque rice fields of Lamin.

For bird photographers, Mandinari River Lodge is a dream location. You can photograph freely in the bird-rich garden or take advantage of a unique feature: the only professional photo hide in Gambia with an eye-level water pool, water circulation, and overflow. The hide offers a clean, natural backdrop with no distracting branches or obstacles – perfect for photographers specialising in hide photography, without the need for long journeys.

This setup is ideal for those who enjoy photographing and relaxing in comfort, all in one location. You benefit from a small-scale, personal approach with maximum flexibility. On your departure day, you will be brought back to the airport in good time, in line with your flight schedule.

Mandinari River Lodge is therefore a perfect alternative to a round trip: the same price, the same quality of service, but with added tranquillity, more photography opportunities, and a truly unique stay in the heart of Gambia’s natural beauty.

Note.

The edges of the pool will be covered in October so that no concrete is visible, also the water circulation with pump will be installed in October, I will post updates on this page with photos when everything is ready.
