Tour to the Saloum Delta
Tour to the Saloum Delta
At the indicated time, we'll pick you up at your hotel in Dakar and drive by minibus to the village of Ndangane, the gateway to the Saloum Delta National Park. The journey will take us about 2.5 hours.
Once we've arrived at our destination, we'll board a boat and start sailing through the mangroves at the confluence of the Sine and Salu rivers. During the 3-hour crossing, we'll admire the surrounding landscape and see typical villages such as Mar Fafako, Mar Souloum, or Mar Lodj. We'll also learn how the Fulani people live!
Of course, we'll also observe the numerous birds that fly over the Saloum Delta. Pelicans, herons, cormorants, and many other European and African species cross this Biosphere Reserve on their migratory routes.
Then, we'll return back to Ndangane and have lunch there, which will consist of a typical Senegalese dish. Finally, we'll return to the starting point after 10-12 hours of touring.
