Guided tour with Casimir
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I took a tour on 11/06/2026.
A superb experience on Gorée Island thanks to Casimir! He is a passionate, warm, and very friendly guide who knows the island's history perfectly. His explanations are rich, clear, and captivating at the same time, which makes the tour particularly interesting. He takes the time to answer questions and share numerous anecdotes that allow for a better understanding of this place steeped in history.
Beyond his knowledge, it is above all his kindness and good humor that make the difference. A very beautiful encounter and a tour that I recommend with my eyes closed!
If you visit Gorée, ask for Casimir, you can call him at +221 77 237 34 67, you will not regret it!

The one thing to do if you have one day in Dakar
Island to Goree Island is a must do for Senegal. The Island is small and beautiful but the history is big, and something that makes us reflect. Oumar was an amazing guide, very clear in communicating with us, very accommodating, and he knew everyone along the path, which gave us confidence that we were in good hands. Oumar not only gave us a tour but made us feel closer to Senegal. I would truly recommend this tour to anyone who visits Dakar.

A Glimpse of Senegal’s Wildlife and Nature
This tour was a good way to experience a different side of Senegal, combining the wildlife of Bandia Reserve with the peaceful scenery of Somone Lagoon in a single day.
At Bandia Reserve, we had the opportunity to see giraffes, rhinos, zebras, ostriches, elands and other animals roaming through the landscape. The visit to Somone Lagoon offered a nice contrast, with a relaxing boat ride through the mangroves where we could observe pelicans and other birdlife, as well as local fishing boats.
Most of the group were Spaniards, so the tour was conducted in Spanish, which I did not mind as I understand the language. The guide was multilingual and could switch easily between Spanish, English and French when needed.
Overall, it was an enjoyable way to get a quick glimpse of Senegal’s wildlife and birdlife, particularly for travellers who want to combine a safari experience and the lagoon within a limited amount of time.

Full-Day DAKAR city / GOREE Island
Wow, I had a GREAT DAY TOUR to Goree Island and around the sites of Dakar it was Very Very Special!! On the way and at Goree Island I felt like I was a local as Oumar knew everyone along the way and was so well connected to all of them. It felt like I had a close friend on the inside!!! Oumar’s knowledge was deep, he knew so much about the city and the Islands history it was like having a professor of history riding with me the whole time. Oumar is very friendly and kind to everyone he meets especially his guests. If you take this tour you will not be disappointed!!! Thank you Oumar🙏🏻🙏🏻

Fantastic Company!!!
I used them to pick me up from the airport and drop me off but again, they are a great company and totally recommend them. They are extremely professional, punctual, and very reliable. For the pick up my flight was delayed 3 times and arrived 3am but they were professional all the way. For drop off to airport they took me somewhere which I requested (of course of an added price) but were extremely professional about it.

Safari and a tasty lunch
The safari was very satisfying. It's important to get to Bandia Park as early as possible because this safari is quite popular. My favorite animals to see were rhinos, many monkeys, warthogs, and giraffes -including baby giraffes.
Following the safari we had a tasty meal of jollof rice at a restaurant in the Medina nieghborhood of Dakar.
Our guide Mamadou was an excellent driver and thoroughly knowledgeable.

very good memories
super tour organized by our guide Mamadou for 15 days
total change of scenery at the rendezvous with the Senegalese with whom we were welcomed.
From Lac Rose to St Louis via Lampoul to Cap Skirring we passed through many small typical villages with always guides happy to make us know their countries.
