What makes Gorée...
What makes Gorée especially special is its history. Walking through the island and visiting the House of Slaves is an emotional experience that makes you reflect deeply on the history of the transatlantic slave trade and the people who suffered through it. It is a place that should be visited with respect and an open mind.

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.

A Meaningful Journey Through Gorée and Dakar
This tour offered a fascinating introduction to both Gorée Island and Dakar, bringing together Senegal’s history, culture and contemporary identity. Gorée was undoubtedly a highlight. Beyond the beauty of its colourful colonial streets, Atlantic views and local art, visiting the House of Slaves provided a deeper understanding of the island’s connection to the history of the transatlantic slave trade. The contrast between the island’s beauty and its difficult past made the visit particularly meaningful. Back in Dakar, the tour provided a broader perspective on the capital through its markets, cathedral and city landmarks, culminating at the African Renaissance Monument. It was interesting to move from Gorée’s historical legacy to a symbol of Senegal and Africa looking towards the future. A rewarding day that allowed me to appreciate the beauty of Gorée while gaining a better understanding of Dakar and Senegal, from the complexities of the past to the aspirations of the future.

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.
