Welcome at Franco Inn

 

 

Who are we?

We are Franco, a proud Gambian and Dutch Eefje that lost her heart in The Gambia. We met in The Gambia when Eefje was doing volunteer work at a foundation that Franco is also part of. We fell in love, got engaged, then married and became proud parents a few years later.

Just like many Gambians Franco hasn’t had an easy life. He always wanted to do something back for his country and countrymen. He likes to show his welcoming country to others. Together we have worked hard to establish this.

We are pleased to now be able to welcome you at our Franco Inn Guesthouse end Educational and Cultural skill Centre. You are very welcome to join us at one of our many fun workshops in the village  Tanji. With this you provide the locals that teach the workshop with a much needed income. More information about the workshops can be found under the button skill centre.

We would also love to welcome you in our guesthouse. In the fishing village of Tanji you will stay local to get that real African feeling, but with the western facilities like running water, electricity, shower and toilet. You also have the option to eat European cuisine.

We can show you the country, go for daytrips, offer workshops, advice and tell you the story of The Gambia. You can combine all activities as you like.

If you stay just for 1 night or a whole month, you like to discover Gambia independent or with a guide, by foot, by push bike, car, or you want to do nothing at all, everything is possible. We would love the show you, let you explore, feel and experience The beautiful Gambia .

Feel as if you are home in The Gambia.

Franco and Eefje,

 

 

 

The Gambia

 

In about 6 hours flying you will find the smallest country of Africa, The Gambia.  It is also called the “ Smiling Coast of Africa “. And not without reason. You will always get a warm welcome from the friendly population and you will always see smiling children running around. It’s a country where you will feel at home immediately.

Whether you are looking for a sun and beach holiday, want to soak up the culture or enjoy the beautiful nature and wildlife…in The Gambia its summer all year around and there is something to do for all likes.
