We opted to stay here rather than our designated hotel, having booked a last minute package and having read various reviews. Deciding to stay here was the best move we could have made, and turned what would probably have been a mediocre holiday into an excellent one. Although we had to pay extra this way it was money well spent... More

Safari Garden is a small hotel that is excellent if you are allergic to resort type accomodation and constant hustling as found on the coastal strip. I was there in the low season, so I did not have a chance to try the menu, but breakfast was ok. The rooms are arranged around the court/bar/swimmingpool area, and have a covered... More

This hotel is positioned 10 minutes away from the nearest beach. The rooms are basic and of acceptable cleanliness, the bed was comfortable but the bathroom could have done with a bit of repair work. The staff in the hotel were friendly and helpful and the food was good if limited in choice. I wouldn't recommend using the guides outside... More

I stayed at Safari Garden for the month of January as I was on a volunteering trip in the Gambia. Safari Garden couldn't have been more perfect for my requirements. The location is great, close to the beach, shops and restaurants, but away from the main tourist drag, and the pool is a welcome respite from the heat. However the... More

I stayed here in early January 2011 at the end of the Plymouth to Banjul Car Rally (the Banjul Challenge). My team mates and fellow travellers enjoyed staying here as much as I did. The owners are a wonderful couple who are sincere in their efforts to encourage and help local people and local businesses. We really enjoyed our chats... More

Good clean, basic hotel with super staff, a lovely ethos and great pool. Bathrooms and rooms could do wth a lick of paint and a bit of maintenance in places, but it was a lovely place to stay close to the beach.

We got back this morning from a week long stay at Safari Garden - our first visit to Africa if you don't count Morocco. We were all blitzed by the country and its people - we think we are pretty good at getting involved with local people wherever we go - but we have never felt as connected as we... More

Very disappointed. The rooms were not clean and very unwelcoming. The swimming pool was OK but the pictures on the website do not give a good representation of the tattiness of the place. The restaurant staff were not 'on the ball'. Both mornings we had to request, more than once, for juice which was supposed to be part of the... More

The Safari Gardens has a slogan "The hotel that gives more than it takes" which is so true as we married there in March 2009 and had an amazing time. There is so much i want to say about this quiet pleasant hotel. The hotel is nicely hidden down a side street which means its very quite and peaceful. You... More
