Bitang

In April 2009 we spent 4 nights at the BITANG BOLONG LODGE IN GAMBIA, a place in an excellent location, far from tourist sites and deep amongst nature. There are some wooden bungalows on the river between the bolong mangroves. The accommodation is basic but very clean with a bed with a mosquito net and a bathroom with sink and running water and a shower. It is brought through a system of pumps (though there is little pressure) and the light comes from a generator that runs until 23:00. The meal of rice and meat or fish is very traditional and actually very nice. We went fishing, to see animals (especially birds) canoing, we visited the village (they do not have much here, so it is great to be able to take them clothes, balls, or anything they can use in school...).
