What are people saying about Dakar

Juana_L, Jun 2026

We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Dakar.

We had an excellent full-day tour of Dakar booked through Viator. Our guide, Ismael, was incredibly friendly, attentive, and professional throughout the entire day. He was always available to answer our questions and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying the experience. His knowledge of Dakar’s history, culture, and landmarks was outstanding, and he shared fascinating insights that made the tour both informative and enjoyable. The lunch included in the tour, served on Gorée Island, was absolutely delicious, and the included drink was a nice touch. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Dakar. A truly memorable experience from start to finish. 100% recommended!

Lovely day in Dakar

Very experienced and knowledgeable guide Oumar. Nothing was too much trouble. Seamless journey from ship into Dakar to see the city sights Long enough to see everything then onto the Isle of Goree. Beautiful afternoon with a very hospitable lunch break. Slave house visit well explained and walk around the lovely streets of the island. Ferry both ways was managed by Oumar who seems to know everyone 😄. Back at the ship in good time for our sailing. Would recommend 100% Thanks for making our day so enjoyable.

Bandia Park Safari (Minimum 2 Participants)

Barbara_M, Apr 2026

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.

Great day with punctual Organisation!

The tour and especially our Tourguide has been very insightful and well organized! The pick up was on time and we went to the bandia resort after a short breakfast stop. At the resort everything went very smooth and we were able to see almost all animals from the park! Afterwards, we went to Lac Rose for an interesting tour to the lake with our boat - very interesting way to experience the locals mining the rich salt from the lake-floor! After a quick local lunch stop we finally were able to drive quads along the Atlantic coast before driving back to Dakar along the scenic Atlantic road. A very well organized day with a super professional company! Can fully recommend! Ps: the only slight disadvantage was the rather expensive price, but these prices seem to be usual in Senegal and considering that Bandia park, the boat tour on Lac Rose, the Quad rides and a driver / Tourguide for the day are included, it seems to be ok!

Wow. Eye opening....

Wow. Eye opening. Thrilling. Not to be missed. The guys met us OUTSIDE the port gate on two mopeds with helmets. Cover up or wear lots of sunscreen. Bring water. A fascinating look at Senegalese society including back-alley breakfast shops and a delightful lunch at his aunt’s home. Some French very helpful.
