Relaxation and comfort Sateh Ecolodges is an ideal place for people who want to enjoy the unspoilt nature of South Gambia and want a comfortable accommodation with enough privacy. Our accommodation is suitable for: - Persons and groups who want to move from lodge to lodge to enjoy nature. - Groups that want to organize a boot camp (sports, yoga etc.) or have us organize it. - Holidaymakers who simply want to enjoy the beach alone or as a group.
I am Sara Ceesay, manager of Sateh Ecolodges. I partly arrange the rental of the lodges. But more I am the first point of contact for our guests on the resort. You can contact me for all information you require, for various services and for anything that may contribute to a pleasant stay. I speak English and the local language "Mandinka", so I can also be your interpreter to the Gambian people. I am Tenny van den Berg; a Dutch entrepreneur, with a passion for the country and the people of beautiful Gambia. I regularly travel to the south, with its friendly population and beautiful beaches that have not yet been flooded by mass tourism. Because this always feels a bit like "coming home". I decided to buy a piece of land on the coast and to establish a resort on it called "Sateh Ecolodges". In my limited free time I can now stay in my own resort with 8 lodges. The entire complex, which also includes a restaurant and a private beach, was built by locals under the supervision of an experienced builder. All our staff are local. We train people, who have had a minimal education, to be a valued part of our team.
Sateh Ecolodge is situated in between Gunjur and Kartung, 100 meter from our own beautiful golden beach. Close to our resort there are several interesting sights that invite you to a visit. That starts with the countless animals that you can spot in the immediate surrounding. But also, for example, you can watch the local fishermen sailing out or bringing in the catch. We can mention numerous other things close to our resort that will make your stay a special experience. Gunjur For example, you can visit the Gunjur Village Museum and the Big Tree Gardens in nearby Gunjur. We can also recommend the Birdnest Garden restaurant in Gunjur. Kartong In nearby town of Kartong you can visit the Reptile Farm and the Lemon Fish Art Gallery. ​ Pelican Island You can also take a boat trip from Kartong or from Berrending to Pelican Island, optionally combined with a lunch at the river mouth.
