Our second home in The Gambia

When you visit the Gambia and need a place to stay, we would surely recommend Kingfishers. Enjoy the warm welcome, the wonderful staff, the clean appartement and the pools; 24/7 power, power shower and the WIFI is very fast. Charlie , Clinton and the staff are doing there upmost best to make you feel at home. We will definitely come back. Peter, Holland

Beautiful oasis in Bijilo

What a gem. Felt like we were in a little oasis, even the local monkeys pop by to visit. Beautiful, spacious apartments with two lovely pools and outside space. Charlie and Clinton are the bet hosts, nothing too much trouble for them. After reading in other reviews how you leave as friends I wholeheartedly agree. We had a wonderful day out fishing with them and then spent the evening with a takeaway, drinks and some fun quizzes - a fabulous day. The staff, Amadou, Oz and Sekuba are amazing, always a friendly smile when you return to the apartments after your day/evening out. The whole kingfishers experience is one I would definitely recommend. Sandra. UK

A paradise of peace and beauty

A paradise to stay, a beautiful courtyard / garden around the apartments, Large spacious apartments with a private terrace overlooking the pool and garden. Lots of privacy. Great breakfast options are available. The hostess and hostess are nice, friendly and helpful! It is located in Bijilo, yet you feel in the middle of nature. Lianne, Netherlands

5 star hosts, team, accommodation and location

We couldn’t have asked for more from our hosts, Clinton and Charlie, at the Kingfisher apartments. It started with the warmest of welcomes and continued through out our stay. Their friendly, supportive and warm approach is clearly modelled by the whole team, we found Saikuba and Amadou an absolute credit to them, always smiling and nothing was ever to much trouble, always someone available to look after us. We even experienced the first day and week of their newest member of the team Oz, who’s constant smile and helpful manner would suggest he will be the perfect fit.
The facilities on site were great, with very clean and well maintained apartments. They are fully equipped for all self catering needs, as well as Clinton and Charlie offering a selection of hot cooked breakfasts and an evening meal option of “eat what Clinton & Charlie are eating”. We found these options really usefull as we could switch between self catering, eating out or taking advantage of their offerings. With two pools and plenty of seating/ sun bed options in sun or shade on site we also enjoyed several days on site as well as exploring The Gambia.
The location is good,with the beach and several beach bars less than 10 minute walk away. We found Clinton & Charlie to be a wealth of knowledge for places to visit and restaurants/bars to go. They didn’t just advise us, but also helped to organise some great days out.
Would highly recommend and we will definitely look to return in the future. Martin and Jayne, Plymouth, UK

Arrived as strangers, left as friends

What can we say. From our first tentative enquiry to a tearful departure,Clinton and Charlie's communication and hosting was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble. A request for a meal from the 'Eat what Clinton and Charlie eat' list to celebrate our wedding anniversary was made extra special with a special laid table poolside and extra special touches.
We arrived as strangers and left as friends with next year's booking already in the diary. A small compound with four apartments. Small enough to be away from the crowds with the option to join with the other residents and Clinton and Charlie for social evenings. Amazing family feeling with wonderful staff with Amadou and Saikuba. Charlie and Clinton have been in Gambia for several years and are happy to share their knowledge re local lifestyle and places to visit. They managed to organise a lazy day fishing trip for us at short notice which was great fun with Charlie's girls team catching the most fish. Money exchange can be arranged in the compound. Nothing is too much. No request or problem is too much for this wonderful couple who work so well together and this is why they have so many returning customers. If you get a chance to stay with them you will not be disappointed. Elaine and Kev, United Kingdom.

Excellent, excellent, excellent

This was my third time at Kingfishers. I went over Christmas and New Year. Both Charlie and Clinton were amazing. We had great fun, party games that made you laugh out loud. The staff are fantastic, the whole place is kept spotlessly clean. Nothing is too much trouble for the team at Kingfishers. Thank you very much. Elaine, UK

Eksotisk møte med ett smilende folk som ikke på langt nær har samme sosiale standarder som vi skandinaver er vant til.

Vi ble mottatt på en hyggelig måte ved ankomst 1 februar og fikk tildelt en koselig og romslig leilighet hvor vi bodde i 3 uker. Det var gode senger samt god mulighet for å lage egne måltider om ønskelig. Vi fikk kjøpt brød som ble levert på terrassebordet hver morgen om vi ønsket det. Hyggelig vertskap som var meget hjelpsomme vedrørende valg av utflukter. Vi brukte mye deres anbefalte taxisjåfør som var ett levende leksikon vedrørende Gambias historie, fauna og alt annet vi nordboere lurte på. For oss ble Kingfishers en oase med hyggelig samvær sammen med vertskap og andre gjester etter lange og opplevelsesrike dager. Hans, Norge
