Below are just
some of the comments that people have made about Madiyana
Safari Lodge. |
|
BBC Wildlife Magazine |
"Our most vivid memory of this
area, however, is of one Christmas morning at Madiyana - as we
ate our breakfast, we watched a pod of 40 Atlantic humpback
dolphins (a really rare cetacean - there may be just 400 left
in the world) only a few metres away, driving their own fishy
breakfast into the shallows and almost beaching themselves on
the sand in their feeding frenzy". |
Arne Json
from Sweden |
"We
are going to Gambia 4 feb for one week and we would like
to stay at the Madiyana Lodge on Jinack island...i have stayed there before, and like it a lot". |

"On Jinack, an isolated section of
coast bordering Senegal, one-hour from the capital Banjul, I
found my own personal patch of paradise. Backed by Niumi
National Park, Jinack’s 11-kilometres of unadulterated white
sands have no hotels nor crowds, just Madiyana Lodge - a
simple collection of raffia huts and a seaview restaurant.
It’s a place to chill, sip a few Julbrews, and imagine this
was how the entire coastline looked thirty years ago. I’d
always envisaged The Gambia to be tame and unadventurous, but
now looking back along the wild sweep of coastline, I saw a
very different place". |

"I really
recommend this place to birders and non-birders. It is quiet
and safe, the staff are friendly, it is reasonably priced, and
it is just an amazingly atmospheric place to stay. It might be
a good place to come as a couple if one person is interested
in birding while the other would prefer to just relax in a
hammock with a couple of paperbacks". |
