There is a special wooden lodge in the middle of the mangrove forests of the Gambia River. People often pass the lodge during a trip on the river. Although it is officially a restaurant, several excursions depart from this point. For example, kayaks are rented for exploring the area. Don't be alarmed if you see a baboon passing by out of the corner of your eye while eating a meal. The Lamin Lodge is a 15-minute walk from the Lamin village.
