If you're in The Gambia, you should really go there! The surroundings are beautiful, the riverview very pretty and the trip down the mangroves in the early morning spectacular. But... the place is really rundown, don't expect anything from the rooms, it's just a place to sleep. At night it can be cold and you need an extra blanket, make... more

The location is stunning, and the boat trip around the mangroves amazing. This place is very run down which is a pity as with a bit of care and attention it would be great. If you are a nature lover then it is worth a one night stay. It is not a complete write off, and is comfortable enough as... more

Such a pity. This could be a great place and possibly was at one time but it's seen better days. It consists of a range of huts and bungalows which must have been quite attractive once. The village outside the gate seems to have flowed into the camp so our nextdoor neighbours were either staff or villagers which was quite... more

Tendaba camp serves a purpose: it is a great base for boat trips to the Bao Bolong wetlands and Kiang West National Park; it's certainly not luxury accommodation but it does the job! We stayed in one of the riverside rooms, which were clean and basic. The shower didn't really work but that's fairly usual based on our experience of... more

This is probably one of the worst places I've ever stayed. Terrible rooms. Awful food. Unhelpful staff. more

We have used the camp twice while traveling up river with Hidden Gambia. One night is enough. The boat trip around the mangroves is wonderful, as are some local walks. It is then best to continue up river to Bird Safari Camp, a much better option. Sometimes Hidden Gambia use Tendaba on the way back to the coast. Avoid the... more

After a 5 hour drive from the coastal resort area - 4x4 needed - we just turned up and booked in. Room was clean but the 'en-suite' was really ropey. Hand basin leaked all over the floor making it slippery. Had obviously been like this for a long time. The camp generally caters for short stays and sees no need... more
