Fathala Wildlife Reserve

We had a good time there and really enjoy our stay with the nature

Impressive walk with the lions and beautiful safari where we met among others the rhinoceros, giraffes, zebras, monkeys and many antilopes. Some hints to appropriate colors and strong insect repellent could be beneficial.

Nous avons passé un super séjour à fathala !le personnel est très accueillant. Le safari avec Lamine était génial!la marche avec les lions était exceptionnelle et restera gravée dans nos mémoires. La visite sur l île aux coquillages a été très forte en émotions. Nous avons rencontré là bas des personnes très gentilles et attachantes. Je recommande vivement si vous souhaitez être en harmonie avec la nature et vivre un dépaysement total!merci à toute l équipe ( Jolene, Daouda, Dieré…) et à notre gentil serveur qui vient de la Gambie

What an absolutely amazing place Fathala Wildlife Reserve is, we ventured out of our Riu Hotel and traveled 4 hours to get to this place.... And we were not disappointed, everything about this place is rock star treatment but with the utmost respect for the animals on the Reserve... The moment you arrive at the hotel you are treated like royalty, through the check in process and then while being shown around your room. The whole process is very easy and everyone here is so professional and considerate. The management take the time to talk to each and every one at the hotel and it was a real pleasure to see, and that's coming from someone who doesn't like to talk. The rooms are amazing especially considering your location, in the middle of the reserve. And sitting on your verander in the afternoon looking at the animals visiting the watering hole was just breath taking. The walking with Lions experience was also truly amazing, the guides were brilliant and you could see the love they had for these lions was so sincere. There are lots of Do's and don't buy to be honest they all made sense. I would say however that there are a small number of lockers if needed before you do the walk which we weren't aware of but this didn't matter as we were only stopping down the road actually on the reserve anyway. Some may think or say it's slightly out of their price range but trust me when I say it is certainly worth stretching that little extra for, you will not be disappointed. This place is truly a 'YOU MUST VISIT' in your lifetime sort of place / experience. I have soo many photos of the 2 days spent here but this place is a must visit if you're in Senegal or Gambia, you will not be disappointed, I promise.... If you contact them they will also arrange pick up and drop off, we were 200km+ away and they managed to arrange collecting us on time and dropping us back hassle free and all paid at check out (minus the booking deposit). Honestly, trust me, this place has to be visited...

Magnifique expérience à Fathala, nous avons passé un séjour inoubliable. L’hôtel est magnifique et les lodges sont tout confort bien équipés et très bien décorés. Le service est parfait, tout le personnel est aux petits soins pour les clients. C’est un petit hôtel avec 20 lodges donc très intimiste et familial. L’hôtel est en pleine nature entouré d’animaux. Le repas était très bon. Mention spéciale au personnel qui a été vraiment très gentils et qui nous ont permis de passé un séjour inoubliable. Merci à Joseph de la réception qui est vraiment une personne en or, merci à la directrice qui est très gentille, à notre guide de safari Assane avec qui nous avons passé une très belle matinée avec les animaux et à tout le personnel.

Wir hatten eine Unterkunft mit Whirlpool. Wirklich sehr schön und gut ausgestattet. Das Essen war ausgezeichnet und das Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Animaltour mit Picknick hat uns viel Freude gemacht und der "Lionwalk" war einfach nur genial.

Beautiful resort. Great scenery. We enjoyed our visit. Interesting attraction. Staff where lovely. Excellent customer service. Especially Ousman Jallow. Small issue at the border with clearance, However, We will definitely visit again

Un excellent moment à observer ces magnifiques animaux. Le meilleur moment, le soir sur la terrasse avant le diner. Les chambres sont très spacieuses et la douche à l'extérieur est très agréable. La baignoire est peut-être de trop...

Great stay.lodges are spacious and comfortable. Food excellent . Went on mangrove sundowner and safari drive both great with knowledgeable guides. Saw crocodiles and the most stunning birds plus a jackal
