The Gambia Experience is offering discounts this September on selected holidays featuring hotels within its Luxury Collection portfolio.
September offers apply to three of The Gambia Experience’s deluxe hotels: Ngala Lodge, Coconut Residence, (both exclusive to the tour operator), and The Sheraton Gambia Hotel.
Luxury Collection boutique hotel: Ngala Lodge – 7 nights from £499pp (save up to £245pp)
Situated just outside Bakau, Ngala Lodge was originally a colonial mansion and now houses 18 suites in total, including the upgraded Manor and Atlantic Suites (Atlantic Suite extras include a private jacuzzi), as well as the two-storey Penthouse with private rooftop terrace.
Courtesy of an elevated cliff-top position, the property offers outstanding views. Facilities include private tropical gardens, a swimming pool, access to a secluded beach and the acclaimed Ngala Lodge Restaurant.
Valid for September departures, a 7-night holiday at Ngala Lodge with The Gambia Experience starts from £499 per person (resulting in a saving of up to £245 per person on Friday departures). This price is based on 2 sharing a standard suite with breakfast, and includes return flights from London Gatwick, in-flight meals, transfers and all taxes (including fuel surcharge). Throughout September, the above holiday can be extended to a 14-night duration for an additional £99 per person, with prices starting from £598 per person (resulting in a saving of up to £339 per person on Friday departures).
Luxury Collection boutique hotel: Coconut Residence – Free upgrade from a Junior to Deluxe Suite
Designed to recreate an era of colonial opulence, the deluxe Coconut Residence, although located just one kilometre from the lively resort area of Kololi, is an oasis of calm. The accommodation is arranged in suites, which vary in size and location from the Junior Suite up to the private three-bedroom villa with private pool. The vast Lion Suite has been renamed The Royal Suite in recognition of the King of Morocco’s recent visit.
Facilities at this boutique hotel include two swimming pools, exotic gardens with sun terraces, boats for hire and the acclaimed à la carte Avocado Restaurant (undoubtedly the premier restaurant in The Gambia).
This September a 7-night holiday at Coconut Residence with accommodation in a Deluxe Suite starts from £799 per person (resulting in a saving of £129 per person, courtesy of a free upgrade from a Junior to a Deluxe Suite – a free upgrade which runs throughout September). This price is valid for 09 September departures and includes breakfast, return flights from London Gatwick, in-flight meals, transfers and all taxes (including fuel surcharge).
Throughout September ‘no single supplement’ also applies.

For those who prefer a larger hotel, The 5* Sheraton Gambia Hotel located along the southern coastline of The Gambia at Brufut, a small village ten minutes south of Kololi, would be ideal.
Located just ten minutes from Banjul airport and positioned directly on the beach, surrounded by palm and baobab trees, The Sheraton Gambia Hotel fulfils the high standard expected from the international Sheraton hotel chain. Blending west and south African architecture, each room or suite offers unspoilt sea views.
Facilities include a large infinity swimming pool, fitness centre, and choice of restaurants offering Asian, Mediterranean and seafood cuisine.
Activities can also be arranged, including Kiting, Fishing, Boat Rides and Watersports, as well as private excursions.
