The residence is a fully serviced guest house with very high standards and all the amenities you would expect to find at your home.
I am a Gambian who studied Business management and Economics in The U.S. I lived in America for over 22 years where I worked and managed for a Fortune 500 company for 15 years before I decided to move back to the Gambia to set up a business.
Pelican Residence is uniquely situated in the highly sought after Fajara neighborhood. You have direct and very easy access to public transportation as well as good restaurants.
