A beautiful 7 hectare family home in Kafountine, Senegal. Set among flowers and fruit trees out in the bush on the outskirts of Kafountine we have peace and tranquillity but are within walking distance of the town itself and of course the long and largely deserted beach. A perfect escape and a great introduction to life in West Africa. As well as accepting guests we teach the Kora, the West African Harp (Nov-April). We can arrange collection from Banjul airport, daily kora tuition, loan of a kora, and lessons in local crafts. Our prices always include all meals and a private room. Some rooms have an ensuite bathroom and there are three eco-lodges which are beautiful woven wall one roomed houses, each in their own gardens. All rooms are simple and clean. Solar power charges lamps, phones, cameras etc. Good fresh local food, shower water warmed by the sun - back to basics in a lovely safe setting! Fantastic for bird-watchers, with a wildlife pond and observation tower.
