Accommodation in Fimela

I booked Maison Fimela after travelling in Senegal for two weeks, wanting to end the trip by visiting the UNESCO listed Saloum Delta. I’m very glad I did. This was the best accommodation I stayed in, with the best food and hospitality of the entire trip. The place feels like an oasis for birdwatching, and I especially enjoyed meditating and listening to the birdsongs. Nature focused travellers will love it, and the Saloum Delta itself is not to be missed (although I saw more birds in the lagoon in front of the hotel than during my delta excursion) Chloé was very helpful in organising my excursions and arranging a taxi to the airport. I have no complaints at all and was very happy with my stay.

The quietness and the incredible view!

The staff was really helpful when I needed help with my husband's health problems and that support was really wellcoming so far away from home. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. The hotel's ubication is fantástic and the sunsets at the pontón are LOVELY

Fantastic bungalow with a terrace overlooking the pool. A very comfy bed and really well-appointed room with a luxe bathroom and air con. Beautiful artwork on the walls. Great central location in Ndangane. Staff super-helpful and friendly.

I really appreciated the calm, serene setting, so much so that I stayed an extra night. It was just what I needed after a very busy week travelling down from Dakar seeing so many different things and places, this was the perfect antedote. The staff are a really lovely team, especially Mamy and Khassim - I’ll miss you both! I liked waking up to the sounds of nature, watching the crabs doing their rituals on the small beach, identifying various birds on the river and within the mangrove. The free kayaking is worth doing. Food was European style and three courses available for dinner, quality was decent. I met some other travellers and we had such a nice time, having apéro, dinner and doing a pirogue tour together. The Bazouk kindly arranged a taxi for me from Joal-Fadiouth. All in all I had an amazing time here, merci à tous 🤎

Sophie and Ousmane are great hosts! I felt immediately welcome and they helped to organize some activities on the island. It is an amazing place to relaxe and/or explore Mar Lodj! Would book any time again! You can also book dinner which is prepared by an amazing cook. I would recommend to do so.

The staff was very friendly and helpful to organize trips, kitchen was open and food was good. Amenities were clean and comfortable

The location of the lodge is simply stunning. It sits right on the water, surrounded by nature, and you can see all kinds of beautiful birds throughout the day. The property itself is extremely clean and stylish, with a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere that makes it very easy to unwind. The food is delicious, and the breakfast is especially wholesome with plenty of variety. I loved watching the birds come by in the morning as if they were coming to say hello. The rooms are very comfortable and I slept incredibly well during my stay. The staff were also very friendly and accommodating. Even though my French is almost zero, they always made an effort to understand me and made me feel very welcome. There is honestly nothing bad to say — this place is a little paradise. I truly hope to come back one day. Thank you for such a wonderful stay.

The best hotel we stayed in during our trip in Senegal ! The place is spotless clean, beautifully decorated and the food is delicious. The staff spoiled us with starter, main and dessert 2 times a day - all included in the daily rate. Staff is nice and helpfull, and we also got a free upgrade to the suite :). Olivia helped us to organise all the activities. The pool is not heated, but we thought it had the perfect temperature to cool down, so we didnt mind at all. Would definitely recommend this place !
