5.00Very good experience from the first contacts before our departure from France to our return trip to the airport. We made 3 excursions as well as our airport/Saly transfers with Senegal Excursions. We were excited. Fatou has shown remarkable responsiveness in all email exchanges. Djibril and Max have been great guides, sharing their experience and humor! Special mention in Djibril who knows everyone on the port and in the market of M’bour! As our children said: "Djibril President!"
Perfect!!

5.00We made 3 excursions during our stay with Senegal Excursions (Gorée + pink lake, Bandia + lions, shell island + Mbour). We especially thank Max and Alpha for the unforgettable moments we had, for discovering the region and the culture. Thanks also to Fatou and his family for their Welcoming. If it were to be done again, it would be without hesitation with Senegal Excursions. Don't change anything! Michael and Aurélie
A team on top of the game!

5.00We had the chance to participate in several family excursions during our stay in Senegal, and each one was exceptional! The organization was perfect, the guides passionate and very professional, always listening and eager to make us discover their country with authenticity and kindness. 🏝 Day on Gorée Island: full of history and emotion. 🐘 Safari at Bandia Reserve: impressive to see animals in semi-free range in a natural setting. 🐬 Discovery of Lac Rose + magical 4/4 ride on the Dakar rally route A huge thank you to the whole team: Fatou, Max, Mokthar and Omar for their warm Welcoming, punctuality, we felt like a member of their family. This trip will remain etched in our memories! We highly recommend Senegal Excursion to all those who wish to experience Senegal differently, between nature, culture and human encounters.

5.00An incredible day with the super Max! He went to the little care for us, we felt nice. The island of Goree that I already knew, I rediscovered it with his knowledge and his little anecdotes, lunch was good. The nice pink lake and big crush for the 4x4 at the end Max is very open and we could ask him lots of questions. Driver on top also. We felt confident. Thank you bcp to Fatou for the organization. It is super well structured and it is tjr present when needed. Bravo.
