Notre menu du jour de Noël !

Célébrez Noël avec style

Notre personnel entre vraiment dans l'esprit de Noël. La plupart sont bien sûr musulmans. Cependant, cela n'enlève rien à leur enthousiasme et au sentiment qui entoure nos célébrations chrétiennes.

Ainsi, après les salutations et les vœux du matin, nous commençons la journée par un petit-déjeuner au champagne suivi d'une promenade guidée avec Lamin.

Notre fête commence vers 18 heures et même si vous ne restez pas à Footsteps, vous êtes les bienvenus, le dîner est une affaire inclusive avec tout le monde assis ensemble pour savourer un vraiment délicieux repas claquant.

Lorsque nos appétits sont pleinement satisfaits, le divertissement de Noël à la gambienne commence.

De la musique, de la danse et une performance spéciale de Jeli Yankuba, Ndey Mariama Jobarteh et du Yirwa Band nous emmènent à l'heure du coucher, c'est des vacances inoubliables.

A clean, safe and friendly environment showcases the true spirit of The Smiling Coast
This Eco Lodge was the first I had ever stayed at and I was impressed. I had never heard of an Eco-Lodge before so had little expectations. The staff were so helpful, friendly and able to keep me happy at all times. I will definetly be returning.

AMAZING
Footsteps lodge is amazing! From the staff to the food to the rooms, I’m quite a fussy eater but they were SO accommodating, lovely and warm, I’d recommend it to anyone and I will 100% be staying here again. They have so much to do on site aswell, like the tailors and the shop where you can buy all of your presents to take home.

Relaxing in nature
Having stayed at Kaira Bungo house we enjoyed two bedrooms, two well equiped bathrooms and a spacy kitchen-living area. Nice natural materials and handmade furniture. Around the house terasses between trees and bushes and a bird tub that was filled with water daily. No neighbor in sight. Very relaxing atmosphere. The staff is amazing, everybody is caring. There are different craftsmen in the lodge explaining there work and producing by personal demand. The save walk to the beach takes 20 minutes along sand roads, we did not see many people there or at the beach. Perfekt sandy beach with sunbeds and shades and juice bars. We recommend a walk to Gunjur market.

Relaxed birding in Gambia
We spent 10 days at Footsteps on a leisurely birding holiday. Lovely setting with plenty of bird life within close proximity and of course whilst relaxing in the grounds, over 150 species seen. A lovely 25 minute easy, flat walk to the beach with a large crocodile observed in the wetland! Food excellent and it was really nice to sit chatting with other guests over the evening meal. A couple of great birding day trips with Lamin Bojang increased our bird count, thankyou! Our Marakissa tour was excellent with a delicious meal at the Marakissa River Camp included. All the staff were extremely kind, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Transfers to and from the airport worked very well for us. If you would like a quiet, restful holiday with full sun and pleasant surroundings this is the place for you.

A perfect stay
Incredible place. Accommodation was as described if not better . Plenty of space , hot shower , fan and mosquito net. Room cleaned daily with fresh towels if needed. The outside areas were perfect for relaxing in , dappled shade amongst the trees and plants. Lots of bird life / wild life around the complex. The food was exemplary, from the fresh breakfast to a great choice for lunch to the table d’hote in the evenings. We did the beach clean , the beach walk in both directions plus plenty of birding in the area. There is lots to explore but it was also lovely just to relax in the grounds. The plunge pool was refreshing when returning from a trip for an immediate cool down. We throughly enjoyed our time here , didn’t want to leave and we are definitely looking at returning and exploring Gambia in more depth including another stay at foot steps of course .

Beautiful sunsets in paradise
Footsteps is a really special place. Bouba and Doudou were very welcoming and friendly and Karamo is a wonderful host - he helped us to find the local places that we wanted to visit. The pool is cool that's for sure and a great highlight of our trip as it is freshwater and not chlorinated. Our room was lovely and the bed was really comfortable. There are so many beautiful birds there and the grounds are lovely and well maintained. I would highly recommend Footsteps.

Great place and perfect sanctuary in south Gambia
TRhis is a great place less than a mile from Gunjur one way and a fabulous empty beach the other way. Footsteps is a perferct snactuary from the heat and the food served for breakfast and dinner really good (they even sell guiness!). Wandering through the forest on the sandy lanes is a great experience and you can organise various trips through the lodge which are great (we especially enjoyed the wildlife and bird spotting trip with Lamin. Would definitely go back in a heartbeat

Great bird photography opportunities
Main goal with my ten nights stay was photographing birds. I ended up with good pictures of around 145 species. The accommodation in the sunbird house was great and spacious and the meals served were delicious. I especially appreciated the barbecue arrangements with dance and drums/kora music on saturdays. The photographing possibilities were very good both guided and on my own by the wetlands locally. I will recommend the kayaking in Tanji as a must-experience highlight.

Holiday of my life!
The holiday of my life! Met all my expectations. Welcoming, friendly, laid-back, relaxing, picturesque, beatiful. Great staff. Good food. Sensible in every way. A perfect match for my long-standing passion for both Gambian culture and birding. Good oportunities to socialise with other guests. Interesting cultural visits by Jeli Yankuba and a djembe group from Gunjur which made us all dance. And not least, birding was incredible. Me and my travel companion registered more than 130 bird species in ten days! A small platform obove the little pool in the centre of Footsteps was a perfect place to photograph beautiful sunbirds, a pygmy kingfisher, weavers and many more. And Footsteps' excellent bird-guide Lamin Bojang took us to other places where we saw owls, spoonbills, pelicans and more. One thing I know for sure: I will be back!

Best ecolodge there is!
This has to be the best lodge in the Gambia. Amazing staff, great food and the last word in comfort. Really impressed by the whole approach to sustainability. Not to mention the incredible wood carver, the weavers (when was the last time you could say I know who grew the cotton, know who spun it, and wove it?), and jeweller. The most relaxing time ever! Thank you David and Linda.
