Located at the westernmost point of the continent and served by multiple air and maritime travel routes, Senegal is known as the “Gateway to Africa.”
The country lies at an ecological boundary where semiarid grassland, oceanfront, and tropical rainforest converge; this diverse environment has endowed Senegal with a wide variety of plant and animal life.
It is from this rich natural heritage that the country’s national symbols were chosen: the baobab tree and the lion.
This tours is unique in the sense that I combine the most visited sites in 8 days.
My passion for Travel is part of who I am. I offer visitors the opportunity to take a journey back in time in the life of our different cities.
I will also provide a view and experience of Senegal that only Locals would know.
So, it is my absolute pleasure to show off these beautiful places and tell stories related to them which make History come alive.
I am very much looking forward to showing everything this beautiful country has to offer.
All our tours and trips are uniquely crafted and tailored to your areas of interest.
Unlike many other tour guides and agencies, I am actually Senegalese.
I grew up in Senegal and will be able to show you the authentic heart and soul of the country.
I know my county better than any general travel agency ever could.
I am myself a passionate traveler and have visited close to 50 countries. On my travels I have seen and learned what makes a trip truly memorable.
I have brought everything I have learned back home and applied it to our tours.
One key take away from my travels is that service is everything.
Even in the most beautiful location, good service is what really makes an experience memorable in a positive way.
For all my tours and trips it is my aim to provide the highest standards of service. Whether it concerns transportation, accommodation or meals, I will always be at your disposal.
You will receive professional, private guidance to each activity and location, to make sure you get the most accurate information.
Our tours include half board, so you won’t have to worry about where to eat. Our choice of meals and restaurants will ensure you get to indulge in and try all kinds of authentic Senegalese food.
My tours go beyond visiting attractions. Travel with a small group of like-minded, open hearted individuals, make new friends and explore together.
