Dakar and Goree Island Private Trip

After collecting you at the scheduled time from your hotel in Dakar, we'll head to the city's port where a ferry will be waiting to take you to the island of Goree. The journey lasts around 20 minutes. In Goree, you will learn about a significant chapter in the history of both Senegal and the world.

We will visit the House of Slaves and the Historical Museum of Senegal. Goree played a vital role in the Atlantic slave trade for three hundred years and is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Next, we will walk through the colorful narrow streets and admire the colonial houses. You will have free time for lunch before we return to Dakar by ferry.

Upon our return, we'll take a guided tour through the historic city center, visiting Independence Square, the Presidential Palace, the markets of Kermel and Sandaga, and the city's cathedral. In the Medina neighborhood, we will admire the Grand Mosque of Dakar and visit Tilene market, known for Shamans selling charms and amulets.
