Sine Saloum Delta: Full-Day Trip from Dakar with Lunch Included

Sail through mangroves and bolongs in a pirogue, set foot on unspoiled sandy islands, and meet the Serer community in Mar Lodj and Mar Wandié, with a local guide and private transfer from Dakar.
Discover the Sine-Saloum Delta, a unique area of mangroves, bolongs (saltwater channels), and white sand islands, on an approximately 8-hour excursion from Dakar or the Petite Côte.

Your day starts with an exclusive transfer by private vehicle to the Mbour and Ndangane area, as you watch the skyline give way to the most authentic side of Senegal. Throughout the day, you'll be accompanied by a Spanish-, English-, or French-speaking local guide who will travel with you from your hotel pickup and tell you about the history, traditions, and secrets of the delta's communities.

You will then take a motorized pirogue (shared) through the lagoon and the bolongs, heading into the heart of the mangroves, an ecosystem teeming with life. During the trip, you'll stop at pristine sand islands, a place of absolute peace against the backdrop of the Sine-Saloum horizon.

You'll enjoy a genuine cultural immersion in the island villages of Mar Lodj and Mar Wandié, where you'll stroll through their sandy streets and get a firsthand look at the hospitality and daily life of the Serer people: how they live, how they interact with each other, and the keys to understanding this ancient people.

Includes bottled mineral water for each traveler throughout the tour. We recommend that you wear light cotton clothing and comfortable shoes that can get wet, and that you bring sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and a camera.
