I stayed at Seckas Sanctuary in the Gambia for 9 days, but i wish I could stay longer because the location is excellent , the furnishing of the apartments are excellent with all the amenities you need,The place is safe secure , very well maintained,the watchman Assan make my stay very easy and He is always there cleaning the compound He even wash ny car for me multiple times, even if something goes wrong they respond immediately to sort it out straightaway, i have used other holiday lettings agents before, but seckas sanctuary is the top of my list, very professional, and honestly way ahead of any other company.
I Recommend SECKAS SANCTUARY to any holiday maker to the gambia,
Thank you seckas sanctuary and look forward to seeing you again soon !!!

Hello, I want to show everyone how happy me and my wife where when we lived at secka"s sanctuary ,locating the place was so easy as ebrima was always on time picking my calls, he picked me up from the roundabout bridge to the apartment, where he introduced me to his security assan, who was also always available to our needs 24/7.the place was always clean and secured. I can't thank ebrima and Wendy less for their kindness, this was my wife's 3rd time in the gambia and she told me secka's sanctuary is the best place she ever lived in gambia. I recommend it to everyone around the world.

I had a great time staying at Secka sanctuary . The rooms are super clean and comfortable I just love it. Assan the watch man is a very friendly guy and he’s always ready to help. I would highly recommend Secka Sanctuary

We had an amazing time staying at Secka Sanctuary.
The check in was super smooth as Ebrima met us on the main highway.
He then chauffeured me and my wife to the door.
Wendy was waiting for us when we arrived to settle us into the apartment.
From the moment we entered the apartment we knew we were somewhere special.
Beautiful decor, Big cosy bed, en-suite shower and everything you need for a comfortable stay.
It’s a lovely quiet place and we both slept really well on the Big British Bed (BBB)
We would spend our days relaxing on the sun loungers.
Assan the night watch man is always on hand to help.
We took a stroll with him one day to see the surrounding area and visit a local bakery.
We purchased some hot fresh baguettes known locally as Tapalapa.
Delicious!!
We would highly recommend Secka Sanctuary as it’s not too far from the airport and away from the hustle and bustle.
We are looking forward to returning next time we are in the Gambia.

My name is Baboucarr Ndow I lived in Old Yundum . My wife came from the USA 🇺🇸 to visit me so we lodged at SECKA SANCTUARY HOLIDAY LODGES at Old Yundum. It is a perfect place to be for holidays. I love the place and the environments in general.
The most important thing is the self catering facilities. Everything you need is available to used for cooking. The rooms are comfortable especially the bed rooms with AC and good facilities. My wife really like the place and recommended it and said is a perfect place to be. I wish and will always lodge there at all time I have visitors. Water and Electricity are available at all time.

My first time in The Gambia and decided to go for an Air B&B instead of the hotel setting as I wanted to experience the life if I was to immigrate there. Saw Secka Sanctuary and started communicating with Wendy and she was very hospitable, took time to respond to every query I had which reassured me of the choice I was making. The cost and convenience of being picked up from the airport at 5am was worth every penny. Wendy’s husband Ibrahima was there waiting and even took time then to help me get my SIM card. Got us settled in at the house with no rush, considering the time of the morning it was. For cleaning they politely messaged us the day before even though we were aware of the cleaning days just to ensure it was alright with us, and we could let them know if we didn’t want to be disturbed. I can’t fault the hospitality afforded by this husband and wife team. They are lovely people individually and even better together.
Great accommodations
Thank you both!

5 stars! This was a very nice quiet getaway. Assan is a very big help and there for assistance whenever needed. The electricity is included, but the AC was extra. I initially opted out thinking the fan would be ok, and it was for the first week, but the temps shot up, and Wendy accommodated the change. I stayed in the room mostly because it was cooler than the rest of the house. It is definitely perfect for a couple's getaway. The vanity was my favourite as I love a dedicated space to do my makeup hair. The kitchen is perfectly equipped, and the restroom is clean. If you enjoy hot showers, the best time for that is at night or early a.m. The setup is awesome if you are traveling with more than one couple and you want to have your own space but be close to each other. There is a shop down the way for small items needed. Overall my stay was great, and Wendy and her husband were very attentive. I would recommend a stay here if you are in the area and in need of a quiet private retreat.

I had a months stay at the lodges, and I start by saying it was not long enough.
The hospitality of the owners along with the clean and clear surroundings of the compound made it home away from home.
The interior was well proportioned and all you need available. The owners really took time to provide the fine details. I am a fussy traveller but nothing was too much for them to provide, they even got me my own mop. 🤣
We spent time in the compounds grass area and had lunch in the sun.
These lodges would be great for a group travelling together, privicy in the accommodation but socialise in the grounds.
Assiyatu (UK) - 29 Nov to 13 Dec 2022:
Excellent property, highly secured, great location, super clean rooms, very comfortable bed and sofa.
The staffs were warm and welcoming. It was home for us as everything we needed was available at our disposal. I highly recommend for anyone visiting Gambia 🇬🇲. In a nutshell it is the best place I have ever stayed away from home!
