Absolutely lovely stay at Esperanto with Eric and Justine and their team.  From our arrival at 11.00 pm when Justine had left us a lovely meal to all that Eric does to organise trips and brilliant taxis.  We loved every minute.  The lodge is peaceful and so relaxing.  Beds are comfortable and I have never slept so well.  The food is really good with lots of good wine and cold local beer and cocktails.  The beach is beautiful and safe: with some great little bars to visit.  The local villages are great and the fishing village is a sight to behold.  Highly recommend.

A lovely relaxing week

Second stay in Esperanto Lodge - just as nice as the first one. For new years eve Justine prepared an amazing and delicious buffet. Locals joined with the lodge's guests and all celebrated together due to the welcoming atmosphere Eric and Justine provide. 

Traumhaftes Hotel, traumhafte Tage - wir kommen immer wieder. 

Fantastic ecolodge way north of the Casamance river, close to the Gambian border. Getting there is quiet an experience, last part on a sandy bush road. The lodge is close to the sea on a splendid location surrounded by tropical nature, the only noise will be from tropical birds. Breakfast and meals of excellent quality are served in a central patio. 

I got a spacious room with terrace and hammock in one of the bungalows surrounding the central patio. The view was fantastic. Several lounge areas for bird spotting or just for chilling  out.

 The nice sandy beach is a 3 minutes walk on a small path crossing a lagoon.

Fantastic ecolodge on a beautiful location

Esperanto lodge is where you go to relax . The lodge is located next to a calm lagoon next to the beach. The serenity and calm of the garden en the views can make anyone find peace. If you walk through the bach gate you almost instantly walk on the beach where you should really go for a swim. The Atlantic ocean there is perfect to swim in . Eric the owner is the most lovely man to have a chat with . He is always ready to help with any questions you have . Or help with planning things you want to do. The staff at the lodge are also very sweet and helpful. They are always ready to assist you . We had a perfect stay at Esperanto lodge .

Relax and peace

Great hospitality from Eric and the team. Best place to be based to explore Kafountine and the Karone Delta or, just rest and relax. Comfortable rooms. Peaceful and relaxing forest environment with beautiful gardens. Sun downers over the lagoon watching the bird life. Easily accessible from Kartong, The Gambia, in a vehicle arranged by Eric. Karone Islands definitely worth a visit - arranged by Eric.

Relaxing get away in nature

If you want to visit Senegal for the first time then Esperanto lodge is a must. Eric and Justine and their staff are the perfect hosts and offer the most welcoming you can expect. The location quality of rooms and food are excellent, explore the nearby town Kafountine with its Market and fishing village. The tour to the islands is a must and the town of Abene with the sacred tree. We will return.

A must if you want to visit Senegal for the first time.

A lush arid garden, Esperanto Lodge is a tranquil home away from home.  That is, if home involved delicious dinners, a great beach and impeccable service.  Eric was very communicative via Whatsapp, prices were transparent and reasonable and payment easy via Paypal.

The staff were cordial and efficient, the setting beautiful and inspiring. Our time left very little to be desired. Don't miss Justine's fabulous fish skewers, lasagna and (very hot!) delicious hot sauce.

A lovely retreat

We had the most delightful holidays in Esperanto lodge I can imagine - food is extraordinary / senegalese style delicious!!
A lush well kept tropical garden surrounding 
the rooms/ huts, different pavilions  were you can sit and read, listen to and observe birds. Wifi fine near bar/ restaurant. We enjoyed strolls in the neighbourhood or along the nearly deserted marvellous beach. Nice excursions possible by boat.very good service, friendly staff and fast communication with Eric beforehand.
If you look for a place where can relax in a beautiful natural area developed with style /in  traditional ambiente Esperanto Lodge is perfect - for us a paradise!! We will be back🌴🧡

Christmas holidays 2021/22

My husband and I recently had a tremendous experience at Esperanto Lodge. 

Such a blast to be there! 

Eric and Justine, the owners, are very accessible and helpful on everything. The staff is available and dedicated to make your stay the best one ever. 

All thumbs up go to the kitchen where Justine makes everyday magic with delicious meals she cooks from the heart. 

I keep excellent memory of my stay at the Lodge and am planning to go back in summer with the whole family.

It works all the way!

We loved it here and only regret that our stay was too short. We had long wished to visit Casamance and Esperanto Lodge was the perfect introduction. The setting with its own private lagoon is just stunning. We really enjoyed the birdlife and the gentle sound of the ocean in the distance as the pelicans came home to roost on the baobab tree. A short walk brings you to a vast beach, perfect for near solitary walks along the coast.
Our accommodation was simple, very clean and had everything we needed. Sleep is deep and relaxing in this setting.The owner Eric is very helpful and runs a most professional operation, ably assisted by his wife Justine who does a marvellous job at feeding guests to a very high standard,especially considering the relative remoteness of the location. The bar and dining area is wonderfully intimate, yet open to the sounds and atmosphere of rural Africa
We really took full advantage of the the Abene music festival, which was one of the most thrilling events we have ever attended. To get around Eric arranged a local taxi driven by the wonderful Adama, who made venturing out late at night in an unknown area feel wholly safe and unthreatening.
We are already hoping to return for a longer stay and to get to know this marvellous area and super friendly people much better.
