This perfect 2-day combination will give you first-hand knowledge of the city of Dakar with a visit to all of the highlights that make the city one of the finest in West Africa. We will also have the opportunity to end our first day with a visit to GOREE island, a touchtone on history. A visit to the SLAVE HOUSE will give you a vision of African Slaves being led onto the ship in chains crying and yelling for mercy.
The second day will take us to Bandia animal reserve. On a safari Jeep, we will be spotting Rhinos, Giraffes, Zebra, Gazelles, monkeys, and many more.
The drive offers excellent views of rural life. I will answer your questions while drawing your attention to the sights you will be enjoying along the way. Then, proceed to the Pink Lake to experience how salt collectors harvest the salt from the lake, put it in small boats, women unload it, and pile it up. Enjoy the view of mounds of cooking salt.

The Safari was great as well as Goree Island. Our tour guide Omar was great at explaining the history as well as what the future holds for the region.

On the first day safari was rained out, but on the second day, it was successfully carried out under nice weather.

While in Dakar we have booked 2 tours: 1. Bandia Réserve, Pink lake and dune driving 2.City your and Gorée Island Oumar (our guide) and Samba (driver) were absolutely exceptional! Oumar passed tons of knowledge about history, traditions and culture of Senegal. He even taught us few useful words in Wolof which we used further on our trip in Casamance région 😁. All we have seen and learnt during 2 days could not be obtained from the typical guide books so we were extremely grateful to Oumar and for safe driving to Samba ❤️🇸🇳 Senegal Nexna Torop 👌🏻!

The tour of Goree Island was excellent and very informative. Touring around the City of Dakar seeing the highlights was also very nice. My tour guide smiles for the first day was a wealth of knowledge about the Dakar and Goree Island. The second day tour of the Pink Lake and Bandia Safari was equally amazing. My tour guide, Omar, was funny, inviting and also had a great knowledge he enjoyed sharing about the history, culture and economy of Senegal. The safari was definitely one of the highlights with sightings of rhinos, giraffes, zebra, ostriches, buffalo, gazelle, crocodiles and antelopes…definitely worth the time and expense. Two days trips are perfect to get a great taste of Dakar and the surrounding area. Highly recommend :)

The operator was very responsive by phone/text and reliable. He maintained good contact. The vehicles were standard. The drivers did their job right and professionally. The schedule was well-planned and well-executed. Although the tour guide I met was kinda novice and nervous, I could tell he treated his job seriously and had tried his best. Overall, it was a nice trip and it deserves 5 stars. I would totally recommend this tour to my friends if they come to visit Senegal.

I simply can't say enough about the welcoming that was extended to me by Oumar and his team during my time in Dakar. Both he and his staff went well beyond and over the call of duty making me feel not only welcomed during my stay, but that my experiences would be some of the most memorable that I'd ever have in my travels....One of Oumar's favorite sayings is that "He makes the impossible possible!".. and he does nothing short of that to ensure that you as a guest receive the most optimum consideration during your time and journey with him. I strongly recommend him and his team. You won't be dissappointed with him as a choice!
