Tour to the Saloum Delta

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

At the indicated time, we'll 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.

Once we've arrived, we'll board a boat and start sailing through the mangroves at the confluence of the Sine and Salu rivers. During the 3-hour crossing, we'll admire the landscape and see typical villages such as Mar Fafako, Mar Souloum, or Mar Lodj. We'll also learn about the lifestyle of the Fulani people.

We will observe numerous birds that fly over the Saloum Delta, including pelicans, herons, and cormorants, as well as other European and African species that migrate through this Biosphere Reserve.

Afterward, we'll return to Ndangane for lunch, which will consist of a typical Senegalese dish. The tour concludes after 10-12 hours of touring.

2-Day Excursion

For a more immersive experience, book the 2-day excursion to the Saloum Delta. The itinerary will closely resemble the 1-day tour, but we will have more time to enjoy the landscapes, staying overnight in this region to appreciate the stars.

Accommodation will be at the Essamaye camp and includes 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.
