The Finfoot Lodge is located on the River Gambia, opposite Janjangbureh town and the Governors residence. It is a quiet, peaceful location surrounded by mango and banana plantation. Easily accessible by boat or car it is a perfect setting to enjoy your time in friendly Gambia. Each room includes a fan and aprivate bathroom with free toiletries and a shower
I am a born and raised in Lamin Koto, I graduated at the boarding school of Armitage. Since then I have been helping my local community and building this lodge along the riverside. I love meeting new people from all over the world and I love to cook local dishes for the guests. I welcome you all to my lodge.
Lamin Koto is a small rural town opposite the old colonial town of Janjangbureh. It is a very friendly and peaceful community, where everyone is helping each other. You will feel welcome from your first steps in the village. We organize excursions. Among others to Wassu, with the famous Stone circles, combined or not with a visit to the National Park. We also organize various boat trips where various animals can be seen such as hippos, chimps and crocodiles. For the real bird lover we organize a bird watch guided by a guide.
