Is it possible just to book the shared room options as a single? Or do I have to pay the single supplement if there is no one to share a room with? In Senegal are you offereing tours every day? What is the average age of your travelers?

The single supplement applies when you do not share the room. Our tour is a go from 2 persons; and if you are 2 you can take the tour from any date. We do not have tour every day. Please let us know when you want to take that tour.

I am looking to go to Senegal in November 2025 - I would like the The Best of Senegal – 8 Days package. When will I be able to book for next year?

The cost of USD 4 299.00 per person is based on a group tour and a minimum of 2 sharing a room. The single room supplement is USD 865.00. If you want you can take this tour on Solo Traveler basis let us know so that we send you the cost.

We are a group of women mainly over 50 years, but active, moderate is best. We prefer luxury Hotels.

We will customize the program for your group. We note that you will arrive Dakar December 28 and depart January 4? Before we send you the customized program with luxury hotels, please let us know if you want to exclude Saint Louis which is currently Days 3 and 4.

look to travel in the West Africa area starting the last week on dec 24 3-5 weeks. my wife will be with the 1st 2 weeks. would like to see as many countries as possible. from Senegal to Ghana, we have traveled to Africa 10+ times. would like to see some animals that are specific to that area, major attractions immersing in the local culture. we are not afraid to go off the beaten path.

We have experience in tailored program. Based on your available number of days, we can propose you a combined overland tour of Senegal, Gambia, Bissau and Conakry in 2 weeks. If you have 3 weeks available we can include Sierra Leone and Liberia with a flight to Accra to stay for 2 nights there. Please let us know your approximate budget and also the hotel standing you prefer.

I have a client visiting Dakar from Feb 28 - Mar 2 and would like a private tour to include Goree Island. I would also like to participate in a cooking class if possible.

Our program Best of Senegal, 8 days includes Goree Island and some of the most important sites / attractions of Senegal. We can include a cooking class either in Saint Louis or while in Saly. The cost based on a solo traveler is USD 5300.00 including: Private transportation, round trip transfers, hotel accommodations, daily breakfast, 6 diners, an experienced english speaking tour guide, your cooking class with a native, visits and excursions fees, fuel and road tolls, guide and driver's allowance.

how many people have already booked for the 12 of September? is this one a guaranteed departure date? Could you please eventually organize one or two nights of post-accommodation? if yes, how much would it cost per person?

Presently we have one person registered and the tour is a go from 2 pax. In case there is no additional person and one of you decides to cancel the travel, we will then cancel this depart and that should be within a month before the tour start date. The tour cost is based on double occupancy. The single room supplement is USD 460.00. We arrange pre or post accommodation at USD 190.00 per night per single room occupancy. Double room occupancy is USD 240.00 In case there is only 1 person on this program; and if she / he wants to still consider the tour, the total cost for solo traveler would be USD 4985.00

Do you require any COVID shots to join your tour? Travelling from the USA

What is the single supplement for this tour? Planning to join in November 2022

Are your vehicles and accommodations air conditioned? Are people expected to wear face masks on the vehicles? I will be in Dakar about 10 days before the tour. Can I stay in the hotel but join the actual tour on Day 3 when we leave Dakar?

For this travel period, we do not have registered clients. So the tour with a start on day 3 would cost USD 4125 based on a solo traveler and USD 1355.00 based on 2 persons sharing a room and from Day 3 of the tour.

I'd like to book a 8-day tour in Senegal for February. I'll be alone. Is it possible to make this trip alone for 1989 euros? And the second question. If I have to cancel my booking, can I get the money back?

Yes, it is possibl to take that on a private basis but the cost for a solo traveler will be USD 4475.00. After payment if the tour is cancelled, we suggest a date report or using the amount for another tour in a different country we cover before we discuss about the condition of the refund.
