TinTing is a Norwegian-owned guesthouse on the coast of lush Casamance in southern Senegal, south of Gambia. Here in the African countryside you find the simple, but for us exotic, life. We promise you an unforgettable vacation that makes you both wiser and happier. Ten minutes from the world's best beaches, ten minutes from the smallest and perhaps nicest village in West Africa. Sun powered, ecological, locally produced food. Supporting local businesses. We organize excursions, yoga retreats, African drum lessons and dancing lessons.

Thanks to Hilde and her fabulous cook and of course John for a graet stay with our two children in December. We decided to visit the area and stay with Hilde on the recomendation of Linda from Footsteps. Hilde has a house in a rural area in Senegal just over the river from Gambia, she has 4 rooms and charges for food, room and activities in one price with drinks on top. It was excllent value wonderfully calm, clean and fantastic food. The staff were all fantastic with our children aged 5 & 7 and we had a wonderful natural experience with no posh frills. the fun was provided by the enviroment, the local kids and the simplicity which was almost retreat like. If you want to replish your energy and forget the wetsern comercial world of electronic stuff and just sit by the fire, talk and listen to the drums then come to TinTing! we may well return some time. Thanks again, Rich, Yvonne, Lotte, Woody

Efter en båttur från Kartong i Gambia hamnade vi här. Överraskande god mat och skön stämning. Berättelser om initieringar och en liten vandring genom mangroven tillsammans med en god öl och bra mat får mig att minnas denna lilla pärla.

Nydelig og annerledes utenfor allfarvei, er ord som kan beskrive dette norskdrevne gjestehuset i vakre, støvete og gjestfrie Senegal. Vi (datter 5) og jeg dro via Banjul i Gambia til Casamances og gjestehuset TinTing. Det var varmt, det var støvete, men likevel så pent og fredelig. Vi bodde i et nydelig rom i et murhus hvor det var to gode oppredde senger, og vi sov under moskitosnett som prinsessen på erten. Gjestehuset har ikke innlagt strøm, men likevel finnes det lamper oppvarmet av solceller, og kontaktpunkt for å lade pc/mobil. Dusjen er under åpen himmel, særlig femåringen ble fascinert av å dusje seg ved å kaste bøtter med soloppvarmet vann over seg, i et skur ute! Det er en liten bit å gå til stranda, men du verden det er verdt det, nesten ikke andre mennesker, og strand og hav så langt øyet kan se. Maten er god. Vent ingen kulinarisk opplevelse, men absolutt god mat og ikke minst gode, lokale fruktdrikker til frokost. Også svært hyggelig kokk! Alt i alt drar det opp at de lokale folkene som jobber på TinTingbor også bor på gjestehusets område. Her er det mulig å komme innpå det ekte Afrika på en helt annen måte enn på et større kjedehotell. På kveldene er det sang og dans rundt bålet. Eneste minus er en litt lang og slitsom reise fra flyplassen i Banjul pga afrikansk byråkrati på grenseovergangen til Senegal. Men utstyr deg med tålmodighet og vann, så går det greit. Vi ble hentet på flyplassen i Banjul av en sjåfør fra gjestehuset, det var litt stressende å komme alene med et lite barn tll Banjul. Men en nyttig erfaring.
