Due to the Lodge’s location in the middle of a mangrove forest, visitors can experience the exceptional flora and fauna of brackish wetlands. As the flood retreats the receding waterline exposes countless creatures such as crabs and mudskipper caught in the sludge of the river bed. In the evening apes and vultures inhabit the overwhelming Baobab trees, and after dusk great colonies of fruit bats can be seen swarming into the night.

Our spacious restaurant terrace offers the unique opportunity to observe the diverse wildlife in and around the river. As well as flying fish and numerous types of bird species, with a little luck, you might just catch a glimpse of pelicans and passing dolphins. Small crocodiles, basking in the sun, can be found just a short walk away. The beauty and tranquillity of this spot will captivate and delight you.

Whilst we will do our utmost to make your sojourn a pleasurable experience. To achieve this goal we have based our philosophy on strict guidelines in harmony with this untarnished environment. The Bintang village and the Bintang Bolong Lodge welcoms you and your family into the nicest envioronment in The Gambia.
