WELCOME TO DAKAR!

You’re finally here!  We’ll whisk you away from DSS Airport after your arrival into the city and take you to your 5-star accommodations. After you get settled into your new digs, we’ll introduce you to the rest of your crew for the week; an intimate group of individuals from all over the world ready to experience Senegal’s culture and history. As a group, we’ll all head to our welcome dinner and kick off our new journey together.

THE REAL DAKAR

The best way to get to know a destination is by gaining a bit of its history. Today, we’ll be taking a tour that gives you a deep dive into Dakar’s roots. We’ll immediately immerse ourselves in the local culture by trekking through the city, sampling local foods, learning about the people and getting our first taste of “teranga,” visiting local markets, and stopping at the African Renaissance Monument to take in the amazing view.

DAKAR & CHILL

Now that you’ve got your feet wet in Dakar, today’s the perfect opportunity to discover some of the things that make the city so great. Get to know your new travel companions, check out that cool spot your friends back home recommended, stop by the local markets, or hang out with a glass of fresh bissap poolside at our lush accommodations. Today is your day to do as you please.


In the evening, we'll head to a local club to vibe to some Senegalese mbalax music over great food & drinks and even better company!

DAY 4

A DAY OF HISTORY

Today, we’ll be taking a journey to Goree Island, a tiny, car-free island off the coast of Dakar, known for its role in the Atlantic slave trade. We’ll visit the House of Slaves and the Door of No Return, which is believed to be one of the the final exit points for many men, women and children from Africa being brought to the Americas. You’ll walk away with a history lesson you won’t get in any textbook.  

DAY 5

SURF'S UP

Bring your sunscreen because today is all about the beach!  We’ll be heading out of Dakar and to the gorgeous Ngor Island for surfing lessons and relaxation. Vibe out while you have a meal of the freshest thiof and soothe yourself in the crystal clear waters.

BACK TO NATURE

Today, we'll head just outside of Dakar to visit the Bandia Reserve for a safari to catch a peek at some of the Big 5!


After our safari, we’ll trek over to Saly and enjoy lunch and a day in the lazy beach town. In the evening, we'll come together one last time for a celebratory dinner. Let our last meal together as a travel crew be a time to reflect on the unforgettable week Senegal gave you, and for the memorable experience you gave yourself.
