We started and ended our trip to Gambia and Senegal at Footsteps, and it provided the perfect setting for our young family. Booking and pick-up arranged smoothly via the internet. Within an hour of touching down our 3 and 5 year olds were stripping off to get into the freshwater pool which was absolutely perfect for smaller children given the... More

Suzi and I stayed in March 2013 during our back packing trip around the Gambia. My lasting impression of Footsteps was that of perfection. The site is truly beautiful and extremely peaceful. During our stay David and his team did a fantastic job and really made us feel extremely welcome. Although we were only there for a few days we... More

We stayed February 2013, third time visitors to The Gambia, first timers to Footsteps. We wholeheartedly agree with everything posted by Ed, Gill, Josh and Amy to the extent that we can't think of anything to add other how much we enjoyed their company and what a happy place Footsteps is. David and his staff have created a fabulous model... More

We stayed here for a couple of nights before a trip up the river withHidden Gambia. It was a lovely stay. Very friendly great food (ask for the special dessert!) compost toilets good (no smell) lovely walk to lovely beach! Lots of birds around in a variety of habitats.

The entire compound is stunningly beautiful, the rondels spotless and the eco concept brilliantly carried out. All of the staff are so friendly and helpful and the guided excursions fascinating and worthwhile. Birdlife abounds everywhere and relaxing by the pool it's possible to spot some really exoctic species. The endless, peaceful beaches are a half hour walk away and untroubled... More

We rarely visit the same country let alone the same location twice and have never before left a review. Our first visit to Footsteps three Years ago was a revelation and this time ticked every box for us. We stayed in rondals in 2010 and a lodge this Year. Nothing really to choose between them but we were a larger... More

We did not actually stay overnight at Footsteps but visited it daily and would definitely recommend it as a place for a peaceful and relaxing holiday. The staff were very friendly and helpful, as was the owner David. Whilst it is not actually on the beach, it is not that far and the walk down to the beach is fabulous... More

Our family of 3 (2 adults and 1 teenage daughter aged 16) stayed at Footsteps for 10 nights over xmas 2012 and had a wonderful holiday. We stayed in Sunbird house which is extremely spacious with a wonderful terrace, perfect for watching the many birds in the gardens (there is also a hide if you are really keen). The staff... More

We stayed here for 2 nights and would have been happy to spend longer here. The hotel isn't on the beach and we had a couple of attempts to get to there, but there were so many birds to see en route that it got dark before we got down there. This was the closest that we got to many... More
