Join us to explore a World Biosphere Reserve on this excursion to the Saloum Delta from Dakar! You can choose between a 1 or 2-day tour, depending on your preference.
Tour to the Saloum Delta
We will pick you up at your hotel in Dakar and drive by minibus to the village of Ndangane, the gateway to the Saloum Delta National Park. The journey will take about 2.5 hours.
Upon arrival, we will board a boat and sail through the mangroves at the confluence of the Sine and Salu rivers. During the 3-hour crossing, we will admire the landscape and see typical villages such as Mar Fafako, Mar Souloum, and Mar Lodj. We will also learn about the lifestyle of the Fulani people.
We will observe numerous birds that inhabit the Saloum Delta, including pelicans, herons, and cormorants, among many other migratory species.
Afterward, we will return to Ndangane for lunch, which will consist of a typical Senegalese dish. Finally, we will conclude the tour after 10-12 hours of touring.
2-Day Excursion
For an extended experience, book the 2-day excursion to the Saloum Delta. The itinerary will be similar, with additional time to enjoy the landscapes and an overnight stay in the region.
Accommodation will be at the Essamaye camp, including lunch and dinner on the first day and breakfast on the second day. The tour will conclude at approximately 2 PM on day 2 back at your hotel in Dakar.
