The Gunjur Lodge

The Gunjur lodge is run by a family of 4 who are originally from Chester. Jo and her husband Butch, their daughter Jenny and her husband Brendan. They have a Gambian man called Alagi as a business partner.

They have been at The Gunjur Project for 8 years now and have built strong relationships with the local community. They have a very ethical approach to their charity work and this is refreshing to see.

The staff team of 18 people are fantastic and cannot do enough for their guests. They are friendly, always smiling and always happy to help.

The compound is very secure and there are security staff on the gate all night so everyone can feel completely safe.

The food is lovely - several different choices each night and it's always freshly cooked and served hot. Compliments to the chef!

We would recommend the Gunjur Project lodge to anyone who wants to go and experience the real Gambia.
