Bandia Reserve and Lac Rose Private Trip

If you can't decide between a safari in the Bandia Reserve or enjoying the waters of beautiful Lac Rose, then why not choose both with our comprehensive trip from Dakar.

Private Trip Details

We'll pick you up at the scheduled time from your hotel in Dakar and head to the first stop on the itinerary, Bandia Nature Reserve. In these wilderness areas, you'll discover a forest of baobab trees that are native to the African savanna.

Upon arrival in Bandia, we'll transfer from the bus to an all-terrain vehicle for an adventure in this huge nature reserve. You'll encounter zebras, rhinos, giraffes, monkeys, buffalos, and ostriches in their natural habitat.

After the tour of the nature reserve, we'll then head to Lac Rose (the Pink Lake), known for being the final stage of the Paris-Dakar Rally until 2008. You'll have free time to eat before starting an exciting 4x4 tour around the lake, which is only separated from the ocean by a row of sand dunes.

You'll witness inhabitants extracting salt from the lake using traditional techniques. If time permits, you may also take a 15 minute dip in the rose-coloured water. At the end of the ATV trip, we return to Dakar between 9 to 10 hours after the start of the activity.
