Bandia Park Und Rosa See

This was a highly unprofessional, disgusting tour. 1. First and most importantly, the driver, Jah, was inappropriate and sexually harassing. He inappropriately put his arms around one of my friends without permission and continued to ask her for her phone number despite her brushing him off. My friend also said she noticed him taking pictures of us all day. He made us all uncomfortable and we didn’t feel like we could say anything since he was driving. 2. The whole tour was mismanaged. Even though the website says the tour starts at 8 and that we would show up at Bandia around 9:30, the guide and driver didn’t show up until a little after 9. We didn’t get to Bandia to start our safari until around 11:30. They were not communicative about times or highly underestimated the travel times. On top of that, the driver wanted to stop to eat on the way to the park, when he should’ve taken care of his needs on his own time or when we were eating lunch. 3. The whole ride was highly uncomfortable and sickening. The car was beat up, smelled like it was burning oil, and had no air conditioning. As a result, we were in the car with the windows down the whole day, smelling the awful fumes from the cars on the highway and damaging our ear drums from doing 135 km per hour on the road. I have had nausea and a headache from the fumes all day, as well as my three friends. 4. Finally, the guide, Mustapha, was not particularly good. It was his first day; he had never been to Bandia or to Lac Rose, so he was really only there for translating for the driver. He didn’t talk about the Reserve or the Lake at all. Bandia Park itself was great. Lac Rose was not worth the money since it’s not the season for the pink color. Seeing the salt miners was cool though. But, this is NOT a $250 per person kind of tour. In fact, if someone offered me $250 to spend my day doing all of this over again, I would decline, because no amount of money is worth the sexual harassment and getting sick from the fumes.

I was in the pink lake but it was not pink but lot of mountains of salt.. the safari in banda was wonderful..

I enjoyed the Pink Lake and Bandia. I even got to row the boat on the lake! It was amazing seeing giraffes up close.
