I booked this excursion at the last minute after another one was cancelled.
I had such a great time thanks to my amazing guide, Oumar, who was extremely knowledgeable and taught me so much about Senegal and the local culture. My favorite part was without a doubt the ride through the dunes and the fishing village. Thank you Oumar!

My brother and I travelled from the USA (California) to Senegal for an adventurous vacation. We booked this tour to experience some local culture outside of Dakar. It was an amazing experience! Our guide, Oumar Kebe, was the best!! He spoke perfect English, was friendly, funny and extremely knowledgeable about everything! We felt very safe and experienced amazing Senegalese culture like we hoped for. We drove to the fishing village where we viewed the life of the locals. We saw numerous boats on shore coming and going into the ocean and people dressed in typical colorful clothes collecting and selling fish on the beach. Oumar explained the local life to us very well. We stopped and visited a local market on the way to the pink lake where Oumar took the time to buy some local goods so we could capture some great pictures of the locals. The pink lake was very amazing too. We were able to see the pink hue of the lake and see the locals working to collect the salt and learned about the entire process. After that, we went on a 4x4 ride in the sand dunes and along the gorgeous ocean coastline. We went to a beautiful look out point to take pictures. We ended our day with a typical and delicious lunch at a quiet and beautiful resort.
Make sure you take this tour and make sure you request Oumar as your guide! We highly recommend him! We hope to return to Senegal one day for more tours with Oumar!
