Absolutely excellent guide and driver. The tour company was also incredibly attentive and responsive with messages etc. The tour itself was so varied and enjoyable. The whole trip was a truly exceptional experience. I also was able to ask for an amended tour to the standard one offered and this was possible. I appreciated this flexibility very much. It would have been nice to have a tiered approach to hotels, meaning a client could choose a more affordable lower tier option or a more premium option. Although I don’t know how feasible that is. I also found that I had plenty of free time, which is always appreciated to a degree, although perhaps at times we could have left the hotel later and so had a more relaxed breakfast, or had more activities planned during the day if we are leaving earlier. Overall, a wonderful experience with exceptional customer care. I would recommend.

What our customers ask about Senegal Tours & Trips
What Are the Best Places to Visit?
There's so much to see here starting with Goree Island it's a UNESCO site that really brings the slave trade history to life. Dakar's this incredible mix of energy with these amazing markets colonial buildings and you can't miss the African Renaissance Monument it's actually taller than the Statue of Liberty at 164 feet. Saint Louis is something special too another UNESCO site where French and African cultures blend beautifully with these colorful houses and carved balconies and there's this fantastic fishing village called Guet Ndar. Nature lovers should definitely head to Djoudj National Bird Park it's incredible with up to 10000 different bird species including flamingos and pelicans. Then there's Fathala Wildlife Reserve where you can see giraffes rhinos and even walk with lions which is pretty amazing.
What's the Best Way to Get Around?
You've got these Sept-Places which are shared taxis that fit seven people they'll get you between cities though comfort's a bit hit or miss. Bush taxis usually these old Peugeot 504 wagons give you more of a local experience. You can rent a car but honestly the roads need experienced handling. Most people find having a private driver works best our travelers really loved exploring with their guide Abou it just makes everything so much smoother.
What Should I Know About Local Culture?
The country's mainly Muslim about 95% of people so dressing modestly really helps especially if you're visiting religious places like the Grand Mosque in Touba it's one of West Africa's largest. Greetings are super important here take time to shake hands ask how people are doing. There's this wonderful community spirit where sharing food and having good conversations are just part of daily life.
Which Unique Experiences Shouldn't I Miss?
You've got to spend a night in the Lompoul Desert under the stars and try a camel ride across the dunes. Pink Lake's really interesting with its salt harvesting though heads up the pink color varies depending when you visit. The Sine Saloum Delta's mangroves are beautiful for bird watching and you can visit Sipo Island with its fascinating history of a 70-year female chief. The markets Kermel and Sandaga are fantastic for local crafts and food. For something really special head to the Bedik villages in the southeast where ancient traditions are still alive and well our tours actually take you right into these communities to learn about their customs firsthand.
