Senegal is hidden gem of a country and this tour hit all the best places. Tour guide and driver were phenomenal, Mr. Lamp and Mr. Mamoudou made sure we did whatever we wanted…even went to Djoudj Bird Sanctuary which wasn’t on our tour. All in all a fantastic experience…liked the desert camp, Bandia Reserve, lion experience and Goree Is. The hotels were all good and seemed to be better each night…Royam Resort in Saly was by far the best. My only complaint about this was we were not met at the airport…we were 7 hours late arriving…and had to spend $100 on taxi. Other than not being met at airport, Across Africa Tours and Travel were great and highly recommended.
