SAFARI IN THE BANDIA RESERVE AND LUNCH AT THE BANDIA RESTAURANT

The Bandia private reserve is a small jewel of ecological success, thanks to the surprising regeneration of its flora and the reintroduction of large African mammals, some of which had disappeared for centuries due to demographic pressure and poaching.

It is located 65 km from Dakar and 15 km from Saly-Portudal (a seaside resort on the “petite côte”) on the main road (N1) to Mbour and Casamance….

GOREE ISLAND & LUNCH

The island of Gorée has a bewitching charm: four kilometers off the coast of Dakar and about twenty minutes by boat, the island is one of UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites.

In turn Portuguese, Dutch and French, the island became one of the main strongholds of the slave trade in the seventeenth century. With a past both tragic and sumptuous, the island’s faded colors, old ochre walls, painted wooden balconies and narrow sandy streets all leading to the sea, exude a bewitching charm…

“LAC ROSE” DISCOVERY TOUR WITH DUNE & BEACH WALK

Lac rose, or Lake Retba, is located 30 km north-east of Dakar, a few hundred meters from the ocean. Surrounded by dunes and filaos, it’s a shallow lagoon whose pink color, sometimes tending towards violet, is due to the micro-organisms that inhabit its bottom, as well as to the position of the sun.

Salt is collected here, and pyramids are made of it, and this dish-white contrasts superbly with the pink of the lake and the blue of the sky, reviving the impression of being photographed in a fake postcard…

Nb: Due to the heavy rains of last season, the lake has changed color.

Dakar is located on a large road stead in the south of the Cape Verde peninsula, marking the westernmost point of the African continent. Since 1960, Dakar has been the capital of the Senegalese state, and the architectural heritage of the colonial era is still visible.

Today, Dakar is a large, modern city where the Western way of life blends with traditional lifestyles.

– The Daniel Sorano National Theatre, Senegal’s national stage;
