Outstanding half day tour of Goree Island with Oumar
This is an outstanding tour that I have already begun recommending to colleagues and friends who may find themselves in Dakar. Goree is a beautiful, tragic place, a tiny rock with an outsize role in modern history. I was in Dakar for work, with a free Saturday before moving on to another city, and decided to book this tour. I’m so glad I did. Oumar is an excellent guide - funny, highly considerate, deeply knowledgeable, and speaks perfect English. He also knows everyone (or as he says “everyone knows him”!) at the ferry dock in Dakar and on the island, which makes for a very smooth and pleasant experience. He picked me up/dropped me off directly at my hotel, and looped around downtown to quickly point out highlights I hadn’t seen before going to the dock because we had time before the next ferry. He also spent a little extra time on the island with me because he didn’t have another tour in the afternoon. I was a single female traveler from the US and felt 100% comfortable and safe the entire time. The vehicle was spotless and Oumar even had me wait in the shade while he cooled it down when we got back because it was boiling inside. Goree is a very special place, and this is the tour you should take to see it. If you have half a day in Dakar, don’t hesitate, book this tour!!!

Great Whirlwind Tour of Dakar
I really enjoyed this city and Goree island tour. My tour guide Ishmael was very experienced and knowledgeable everywhere we went. I could tell he is well respected because he knew almost everyone we came in contact with. This tour took me to the highlights of the city as well as the historically important island of Goree. The driver was also very safe and drove us all over.

Amazing game drive
I had basically one day in Senegal and booked this trip. I have been on Safari before I would say this is a game drive to look at animals in a fenced off protected area and therefore you get to see numerous giraffes, zebra rhinos, buffalo even hyena and tortoises. I had an excellent time and of course took hundreds of photos :) The guide
Took time to speak to me in English, though I was the only English speaker on the tour.
I would always choose a more local spot for lunch than a tourist spot. However, the food was of good quantity and good quality. Make sure you order the local dish.
Lagoon was extremely peaceful nothing much conveyed from the guide at this point, but it was really neat to see so many birds and humongous pelicans up close.

Perfect day with Bass
Perfect way to see and learn about Dakar. Bass was my guide and I recommend this activity to everyone. He adapted to what I wanted to do and showed me all over the city. As a bonus, we went to his grandmother’s house and I met his mother, aunt, grandmother and brother. Of all, this was my favorite part. I had one day to see Dakar and he made it spectacular.

Pink Lake
Our experience was aweome. Our driver was on time and engaged us in awesome conversation.
Bandia reserve was a special experience. Seeing the rhinoceros was the highlight of that part of the tour. We bought packages of Salt from the Pink Lake then headed for a tasty lunch spot. After lunch, the Quad bikes were a wonderful, fun filled final part of the tour.

Would definitely book this tour again and go on other tours with this group. This tour company did a great job.
Would rate this 10 out of five. The kindness and patience of the guide while I asked so many questions throughout the day was so greatly appreciated. Goree Island was very moving and I learned a lot about my own roots. I don't really like tourist focused restaurants so the guide quickly and kindly helped us pivot to a more local restaurant which ended up being so delicious and only a short distance away. Even though we miss the boat because I was slow and trying to buy some local instrument the guide patiently and kindly waited with me for the next boat. Even though by now is evening we still did the Dakar city tour. Not only that, I felt like I was coming down with some kind of cold from the day prior. The guide and kind driver went out of their way to take me to a pharmacy so I could stock up on some lmedications (great Pharmacy too). This tour left Lee was such a positive impression of Senegal.

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.

Great Close Encounters with Wild Life
Saw almost all forms of wildlife that reside at Bandia on our nearly 2 hour drive through the reserve on a sunny warm day. There are no lions or elephants here (separate lion reserve across street), but plenty of other big game. This small group tour (6 of us) was a great alternative to the tour bus cruise excursion. Located an hour outside of Dakar, mostly via smooth highway, we got there in time to beat the crowd. Our guide Liman was friendly, helpful, and shared interesting info about the city, landmarks, and suburbs. There was good communication beforehand regarding meet up, so we easily found the driver and guide holding a tour company sign at the cruise terminal. Our tour included lunch of traditional Senegal food at a restaurant in town. Getting there was quite an adventure maneuvering through heavy traffic, street hawkers, and motorcycles going opposite directions weaving around vehicles. We had a good driver! Entire trip was 8:30am-3pm, additional time mainly due to afternoon traffic, so plan accordingly.

Exceptional Tour Guide
I traveled alone to Dakar, Senegal and wondered how I would be received. However, I was very happy to experience a warm welcome. I was treated as a Queen. My tour guide Amadou was very knowledgeable, accommodating and supportive. For Goree Island my experience was equally as good with 'What'. I felt like family. I had a wonderful experience. I highly recommend for anyone seeking an exceptional experience.
