HÔTEL DE SIMENTI

Nestled in the heart of the Niokolo Koba Park, this hotel, which had been abandoned for a few years, was taken over by the owners of the Oasis Oriental Club hotel in Tamba. It was in the process of being rehabilitated at the time of our visit, and about twenty comfortable rooms and huts were already operational. It is located on the banks of the Gambia River from where dugout canoe trips are organized. Birdwatching enthusiasts will be pleased with a viewpoint overlooking a waterhole frequented by many species of birds, about 200 meters from the hotel.
