Footsteps Eco Lodge is in a wonderful, quiet location a short walk from the beach. Very well run by the welcoming David with friendly and attentive staff. The food was superb with fresh fish and meat dishes as well as vegetarian options, all beautifully cooked. This was followed by evening drinks with the host and other guests. I had a... More

My Partner and I decided at the last minute on this accomodation and really glad we did. On arrival 10pm Sat night nothing was too much in our requests. A large drink was provided along with a meal of delicious fresh fish followed by a great nights 1st sleep in West Africa. The sounds were truly amazing and to be... More

My husband and I and 3 children (ages 12, 9 and 7) stayed at Footsteps for a week. We stayed in a 2 bedroom spacious house at the Lodge which was very clean. The food was delicious and David was very welcoming. We went fishing and the children played football with local children on the most stunning beaches. We loved... More

We stayed at footsteps for 2 weeks over christmas in one of their log cabins which gave excellent space for our two children aged 7 & 5. The best thing about footsteps and what seperates it from all the rest is the staff, a big thank you to Buba, Lamin, Dodo, Buba (night watch) and Jamma who were absolutley fantatsic... More

Footsteps is a gorgeous eco lodge set in a beautiful garden. It’s run by David and Linda who have an obvious enthusiasm for sustainable tourism, and have achieved a Travelife Gold award for the lodge. The activities on offer provide an opportunity for a real connection with local craftspeople and guides, and the life of the local village. We stayed... More

We stayed for 2 weeks in Nov 2011 and found the lodge extremely peaceful and relaxing. The rooms are basic but very clean, the bed was comfortable and overall they are quite unique. We found it very warm at night as there is no electricity in the rooms except for lights which were more than adequate to read at night.... More

I have been to Gambia six times now, and have been put off the Senegambia/Kololi area by bumsters. However, Gunjur is well away from all this hassle, and I always meet interesting like minded people there - ecologists, bird watchers, and people doing useful community things in Gambia, as well as the locals from the village, who named a new...

We stayed over the Easter period and expected it to be busy, but it was far from it! A most relaxing and enjoyable three night stay. We were warmly welcomed by Marie, who ensured we were well cared for throughout our stay, arranging good guides, suggesting things to do and even getting local currency for us. The rondalls are simply,... More

Spent 9 nights at this very friendly place. Great clean rooms with a small freshwater pool to cool down in. The staff is all very helpful and friendly and the restaurant is among the better in the area. More

We wanted somewhere hot at easter and somewhere we had not been before. I looked long and hard at The Gambia, but was put off by reports of hassle from bumster's in the main tourist resorts. Then i came across Footsteps and thought this looks different. Well we took the plunge, booked direct and got a hut for £200 for... More
