Welkom
SOFORAL - Together we can
Soforal knows its way around in the Gambia. We will gladly help you to get acquainted with the rich culture of this West African country and its spontaneous population. You can do this either from the lodge in our home-village Berending or by making a tour. Feel free to ask us about the possibilities and let us know how we can help you to make your holidays an unforgettable experience.



SOFORAL Lodge
Far away from mass-tourism, our lodge resides in a rural area. Soforal lodge breathes art and culture. The authentic Diola village Berending with its hospitable inhabitants is on walking distance and also the coast of the Atlantic Ocean is nearby.

Berending welcomes you!
The people of Berending are truly very proud of their village and Diola culture. Quite rightly. From Soforal a ten minute walk brings you to Berending and allows you to meet its inhabitants.
