Walking
From the center of Bakau, head towards the Bakau Fish Market located on the coast. Once you reach the market, continue walking along the coastline towards the west. After approximately 10 minutes, you will reach a junction. At the junction, turn left onto the road that leads inland. Follow this road for about 15 minutes until you reach a sign for Lamin. Continue straight until you see a fork in the road, where you should veer slightly right. Keep walking straight for another 10 minutes, and you will arrive at Lamin Lodge, which will be on your left, situated by the water.
Bicycle
If you have access to a bicycle, you can start from Bakau's main beach area. Cycle west along the coast until you reach Bakau Fish Market. From there, follow the same walking directions: turn left at the junction, follow the road inland, and then veer slightly right at the fork. This route should take about 30 minutes total on a bicycle.
Public Transport (Local 'Gele-Gele')
You can take a local 'Gele-Gele' (shared taxi) from Bakau. Look for a 'Gele-Gele' heading towards Lamin. They typically pick up passengers near the beach area or along main roads. Inform the driver of your destination, and they will drop you off at the junction near Lamin. From the drop-off point, it’s a short walk (about 10 minutes) to Lamin Lodge by following the road that leads to the water.
