The space 💚 #goodvibesecolodge #kafutavillage #Gambia #westafrica #africa We call our home “Good Vibes Eco Lodge” because we are striving towards self sustaining, ecologically responsible living with good vibes flowing! We have 3 Guesthouses. The "Bah" and "Roots" both have Double Beds, Bathrooms with sinks, toilets and showers. The "One Love" Self Catering Guesthouse has both Double and Single Beds and a bathroom as well. It also has a small kitchen with a stovetop cooker and sink. We can accommodate 7 guests. We are in the process of updating our outdoor kitchen. In it is a wood-fired oven, a propane stovetop cooker, a kitchen sink and food prep area. Guests who would like to prepare their own foods can pay a fee to use the facilities. Just 70 Meters from the river means a short walk for swimming, birdwatching, monkey sightings, boat trips and more! We run on solar power and have our own water source. We garden year round and are learning syntropic agroforestry methods which will greatly conserve water during our dry season. We have various fruit trees and also many moringa trees. We have our chickens help us compost and our sheep provide us with good manure. We have 3 Bee hives that soon will hopefully be buzzing with activity. Beekeeping has long been a dream so we are excited to start soon and be reaping the magic, golden honey/medicine. We have an open air bantab where we play Reggae music and (with advance notice) serve drinks and food, including fresh bread, pizza and other treats from our bakery. Our own home is a round Eco home built from local materials and is simple and sweet. We welcome you to view our home. We have many dreams for our yard and work towards them daily! Our place is a true labor of love and inspiration, embued with the energy of all the people who have been a part of this project thus far. Explore our property, find a hammock and relax while listening to the beautiful birdsong and monkey chattering. We know you will feel the magic of Africa here in our peaceful yard. Guest access Our yard is open to you. Wether it be swinging in the hammock, hanging out in our open air bantaba, or walking around the yard, we hope you enjoy it as much as we do! Other things to note We are located a 20 minute drive from the bustling town of Brikama, in a village called Kafuta. Our home is within sight and a few minutes walk to a saltwater river (a tributary of the River Gambia), where you can swim, bird watch, take a boat trip, or just relax. From here you can even reach the capital of Banjul by way of the river!
