Location:

The smallest country in West Africa, Gambia has a reputation for being the friendliest and most hospitable tourist destination. A short flight from the UK,  Gambia is on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) – jet lag free!!!,  furthermore The Gambia’s greatest asset are its people. The culture of The Gambia is fascinating and its people very open and friendly, always ready to open their homes and share time and laughter.

The River Gambia divides the country into two halves. Near the coast it is salty and oceanic yet 200Km up river it is fresh water, attracting many different animals and wildlife – hippos, bush pigs, crocodiles, monkeys (including the Chimpanzee Rehabilitation Trust), baboons, various types of antelopes, over 500 bird species and many others.

The Resort:

Sandele Bay Eco-Retreat is a sumptuous development on a stunning beach in Southern Gambia, West Africa. The Retreat is being built in conjunction with the local community of Kartong, who benefit from the development and running of the resort and who will assume complete responsibility in twenty-five years time. The Retreat offers accommodation in luxury lodges, nestled in the bush a hundred metres from the beach.

Yoga:

Enjoy two liberating yoga classes daily, each one and a half hours long. You will practice breathing fresh sea air with tranquil surroundings and beautiful nature. The combination of a more introspective morning routine coupled with a slightly stronger dynamic class will help you instantly feel relaxed, rejuvenated, energized and above all at relaxed. Whether you are an experienced yogi, or have always wanted to learn, we will take you into our yoga bliss, all while the ocean breathes its calming energy at our feet.

Other Fun:

Africa has some of the most exciting markets in the world and Gambia is no exception. With several excellent markets, less than an half hour drive from Sandele Bay you are sure to find something that would excite you.

The Gambia has a diverse birdlife – a huge variety of colourful, rare, captivating avian species in a small accessible country. Whether you are a serious birder or an interested amateur there’s plenty to see. Even if you think you are not interested in birds you will be hooked by their beauty when you get to The Gambia.

The Gambia has several sacred crocodile pools. The Folonko pool in Kartong is one of the oldest in the country and is traditionally run by local women. It is said to have many powers including that of inducing or restoring fertility – well worth a visit even if you have enough children!
