Senegal
Sine Saloum Delta, Camping
Activity
€ 100 - 250
Spend 24 hours on a pirogue, exploring the Sine Saloum Delta and its islands, each with its own story. Along the way, you’ll meet locals, spot birds and wildlife, and get lost in the vastness of the mangroves. You might even have the chance to take a ride in a traditional local pirogue, paddling just like in the old days. At lunchtime, you’ll stop on a paradise island to enjoy fish cooked on a barbecue. The guide and his sons will take great care of you. Everything was perfect, and they were super friendly. We decided to bring our driver along for the week, since he had never explored this part of Senegal. After lunch, you’ll continue your journey by pirogue, soaking up the sun and taking in the views. In the afternoon, you’ll arrive at another paradise island where you’ll set up camp for the night. Imagine being alone on an island, with a cozy bivouac, a fire, music, delicious local food, and sharing stories with your guides. Personally, this was the highlight of my trip to Senegal. The night was a bit windy, so it wasn’t the most comfortable, but that’s all part of the adventure. Getting there is easy too—Brussels Airlines flies direct from Brussels to Dakar several times a week. Smooth, simple, and straight to the sun.
