The lodge

Simple, friendly, by the beach

Jerreh Camp is a small lodge in Sittanunku, on the north bank of the River Gambia's mouth, with its own private beach. Days here are for the sand, a cold drink at one of the two beach bars, and a massage by the sea; evenings are long and quiet.

Reception is open every day from 6 am to 11 pm. Contact us at least 24 hours before you arrive to arrange check-in, and tell us if you'll arrive after 6 pm so someone is there to welcome you.

The North Bank from your doorstep

The lodge is a quiet base for history, nature and the river. Ask us about drivers and boat trips when you book.

Juffureh & Kunta Kinteh Island

About 15 km away. The village of the Roots story and the island fort (once Fort James), a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the river. Reached by road, then a short boat ride.

Fort Bullen, Barra

About 29 km away. The old fort guarding the river mouth across from Banjul, part of the same World Heritage Site. Good views over the water.

Birdwatching

Mangroves, mudflats and the coast bring herons, kingfishers and waders. Niumi National Park is about 42 km away. Early mornings are best.

Village life

Markets, fishing boats and the North Bank's small villages, at an easy pace.
