Didn't actually go to the lodge but to the tiny fishing place next door. We did this on a guided tour with a bird guide and went on a boat around the mangroves. We saw so many birds I lost count of how many and our guide, Baboo, who we found through and official Gambia tour guide centre, was very knowledgeable and knew all the wildlife and were to find them. We also had a breakfast here, which was better than the hotel breakfast, and came out of a tiny kitchen.

The food in the restaurant is ok and reasonably priced. Avoid the boat trips they are seriously overpriced for a 30 minute trip around the mangroves, when they return the two man crew demand a large tip on top of the overpriced fare – not pleasant.

Strange looking place seemingly in the middle of.nowhere. Very interesting. Your boats will go out from here, and the mangrove swamps will be interesting, if you like that sort of thing. Good breakfast considering the location. The birds, they can be good, but it varies according to season and.time of day.

Quiet treehouse get-a-way in the mangroves of the bay outside of Lamin town. It's not a lodge per say; they don't provide beds or rooms for people to stay overnight. It's a gathering place for interesting characters, both Gambian and tourist. Drinks are decently priced and usually cold, food is average and overpriced. Come for the views and a couple of drinks; maybe a boat ride if you have the money to spend.

Note: This is a bar and does not offer rooms or beds. I can't count the number of aging tourists I've seen dragging a prostitute or "friend" down the road to try to spend the night here only to find that it closes at 6 pm.

I used to live just down the road from Lamin Lodge when I was a Peace Corps Volunteer. It gets pretty heavy tourist traffic during the season, but is abandoned during the summer months. It's a great place to go for a hot afternoon, as the upper level gets a nice breeze. The beers are pricey but the view is great. They also offer bird tours in the morning if you book through Gambia Experience. There are boats to rent here, but they are quite expensive. The food is pretty good, a little pricey though. Also there are marauding monkeys that come and try to steal any food or drink items you may have.

It can be a little difficult to get here. Taxis are anywhere from 300 dalasi up to 1000, depending on where you pick one up. And the taxi drivers usually come upstairs with you and guilt you into buying them lunch and soft drinks. You can walk in from the main road if you want, although its 3km from the blacktop.

Unique tree house restaurant experience, if you are lucky you might be joined by a monkey or two! We had a lovely relaxing river trip to see the oysters in the mangroves. Our party did not sample food so I cannot comment on this but we were able to purchase teas, coffees and the local Julbrew beer. If you are getting a hot drink here, do ask that it be very hot if you like it that way as the hot drinks we ordered were tepid when they arrived.
