In the opinion of more and more tourism experts, The Gambia is the right summer or, even better, winter destination for those who want to jump into the waters of the warm Mid-Atlantic not only in June, but perhaps also in December at a daytime temperature of around 30-33°C, the whole provided with a feeling of freedom that is now unusual for us.
The sea here has a pleasant water temperature of 26-27°. Senegambia or Banjul, Kololi or Brufut are well known. But as a real insider’s tip, we dedicate ourselves today to the small town of Sanyang, 35 km from the capital, and also tell you how you can reach „TITUS MANSION“, Sanyang’s No. 1 overnight accommodation.
This wonderful oasis is situated on a secured area of almost 3ha with a pool, its own quad school and a quad rental. Here beginners and even advanced quad enthusiasts learn a lot, as it is to see also:
Salery of people is very low
A fisherman or a cook earns around 3000 Dalasi a month, similarly other hotel staff or even a traffic policeman. If the hotel owner or employer is generous, then a little more is paid, but that is rather the exception. One EURO is about 58 Dalasi (today’s rate of exchange).
This means that the average monthly income in Africa’s smallest country is a measly EUR 53. Therefore, travellers should leave a few dalasi as a tip if they are satisfied. Believe me, the recipients are very grateful. The need in the country is quite great!
Jatta Easy Quad and Titus Mansion
In an interview with Jaalib, one of the owner’s sons, the English-born, likeable 25-year-old reveals some previously undisclosed background on the naming and intention behind ‚Titus Mansion‘. In doing so, we look at a family-run business that was founded in 2018. The residence takes its name from the late Titus Barrett, father of (Abu Bakr Barrett). He owns the entire property, the surrounding land and the associated Jatta Easy Quad quad rental business.
Abu Bakr’s dream since childhood was to come to Africa, it was something like a return to the motherland for him. He first came to The Gambia in 2012 when he toured Africa’s smallest country on behalf of his brother, who was looking for investment opportunities in the country.
It did not take long for him to fall in love not only with the beauty of „THE SMILING COAST OF AFRICA“, but also with the open-minded and hospitable people of The Gambia, who quickly welcomed him with open arms. He immediately felt at home in a place that, as he and his father agreed, resembled Jamaica.
He was born in Jamaica. The Gambia is a very stark contrast to the hectic, dreary concrete jungle of England, with which Abu Bakr was very familiar, having worked and spent most of his life in England.
Conclusion: holidays in Sanyang can be exciting and very relaxing at Titus Mansion
The house was titled as such to honour and continue the legacy of the owner, builder and residence provider of such an opportunity for those who came after him. Everyone who has the privilege of experiencing the residence and all it has to offer is a recipient of years of hard work and a great deal of effort. The whole family is now active, a family business straight out of a picture book …
