Lamin Lodge
The Gambia
Lamin Lodge is an inspiring place to pause and unwind, nestled along the winding Lamin Bolong. This charming wooden bar and restaurant sits right on the riverbank, surrounded by lush mangrove forests. From here, you can enjoy panoramic views of the creeks while spotting playful green velvet monkeys and vibrant bird species. You’ll even learn about traditional Gambian techniques, like making cement and paint from oyster shells.
The upper-level terrace offers breathtaking vistas of shimmering water, mangroves, and open fields—a rare sight in a country where tall buildings are scarce. Live local musicians often fill the air with soothing drumming and soulful singing, creating a tranquil Gambian ambiance that effortlessly washes away your worries.
