Kartong, a tranquil village in southern Gambia, has a population of around 5,000. Known for its harmonious blend of ethnic groups, it thrives on fishing, farming, and eco-tourism. The village embraces tradition and modernity, offering visitors warm hospitality, vibrant cultural experiences, and a close-knit community amid its serene coastal and riverine landscapes.
In these peaceful and tranquil surroundings, far away from mass-tourism, Kurumbo offers you many activities and also the experience of the local life in the village Kartong. At this moment, to start with, there are five double guestrooms and they’re building a few more round huts. With modern bathroom facilities.
Kartong is still an unspoiled fishing village in the very south-west of The Gambia, at the border to Casamance, south Senegal, about 35 minutes from Banjul Airport. A nice and little shy population is friendly and nice to guests.
