  • Hello, Is there a view of the beach from your double huts with bathrooms, please?

    Unfortunately, the huts at Tamba Kuruba don't offer a direct view of the beach. A dune separates the lodge from the beach which can be crossed in just a minute. We hope to welcome you at Tamba Kuruba! Warm regards, Sven Lanser Tamba Kuruba

  • Hello, your property looks amazing! Before reserving, I have a few questions. - How much is the shuttle from Banjul airport? - In case my flight is delayed, can I check in after 22? - Could you recommend a way to travel from your lodge to Kabadio in Casamance? Thank you in advance. Chiara -

    The shuttle from Banjul airport to Tamba Kuruba is €35,- Our driver will wait until you arrive in case of a delay. Our driver can also take you to the border river which you can cross with a boat. Then it's just a short cab ride to Kabadio.

  • We would like to come for a few days with my wife and 4 year old son (2 adults and one child). Would it be possible to stay all of us in one room?

    I'm sorry for the late reply. I completely missed your message. Unfortunately, it is not possible to stay with three people on a room.
