Why Best Excursion Senegal?

Because we put the emphasis on welcoming and sharing, the kindness encounters, the wealth of shared experiences.

Travelling differently means getting away from mass tourism, on a tailor-made trip or in a mini group. It means discovering preserved places and meet the people who live there. It means travelling responsibly respect residents and their environment.

Superb day out booked with Omar: safari in the Bandia reserve, the Somone lagoon with its mangroves, arrival of the M'Bour fishermen 😱

Omar wasn't there but Willy was an efficient and attentive guide and Kader was a cheerful and very professional driver: fair price: recommend without fear (we're from Belgium 😉).

We booked two times an excursion with Omar: 1/ Dakar in combination with Goree Island and 2/ Seashell Island. We had two wonderfull days. Omar and Vanessa arranged everything (transfer in a cool comfortabel car, good food, lokal guide etc), so we had nothing to worry about. Moreover, he offerd this all for a very profitable price! We could highly recommend Omar's excursions!
