“Wonderful beach retreat on an island”
The location is just amazing. Beautiful beach on your doorstep, and very quiet and peaceful. Sheriffo is an amazing host. His hospitality was priceless. He took me to the local village school, and organised a donkey trip through 4 villages. Nothing was too much trouble for him. He and his team were brilliant. Food was cooked for you with a nice breakfast. The motorbike ride was a hoot along the beach to get to the lodge. Make sure you bring some supplies with you as there is no shop there. I also enjoyed a lovely camp fire in the evening watching the sunset and moonlit sky. Wonderful!

“A little paradise on a Gambian island”
We loved this place! First of all, super well organized pick up service from Karang border, which included a breathtaking motorbike ride on the beach to reach to Lodge. The place was super nice, calm, clean. Very good food, both breakfast, lunch and dinner. Stuff was kind, and welcoming. A little paradise!

“Little gem in a peaceful location surrounded by nature”
Little gem in a peaceful location surrounded by nature. If you want to experience local Gambian life do not miss this place! I had an amazing stay and staff was very welcoming. Sheriffo helped me organize excursions into villages and anything i needed. The location was amazing, just on a peaceful beach where you could watch the incredible sunset. Food was fresh and nice. The accommodation was comfortable and closed to neighbors villages to explore. I will definitely recommended and encourage travelers to support this business and its friendly community.

“Amazing place and amazing experience.”
I spent one night at Feel Free Lodge and felt at home from the very first moment. The view is amazing, the lodge is on the beautiful beach and there is the possibility to walk through the villages on the island. I did it and met so many friendly people around. Sheriffo, the owner of the lodge, helped me with the logistics to reach the place. He and his staff are so kind! The best experience for a mix of relax and discovery.

“Low key place at a distant beach.”
The lodge is located in a quiet village on the northern border of The Gambia. Consequently, it is quiet there. The lodge is directly at the beach, with is a good thing and the staff is really, really friendly and cooks pretty good food.

“Perfectly quiet, relaxing and very beautiful location on the beach.”
We used this quiet place for digital detox. The Feel Free Lodge is located on a remote island and has the quietest beach we have ever visited. It is perfect for relaxing, swimming and bird watching. The manager Sheriffo was very friendly, most helpful, very reliable and considerate. Getting to the Feel Free Lodge is a nice adventure: We used a taxi, a ferry, a canoe, a donkey cart, a motor bike on the beach and a raft for getting there and back again.
