Description

Get to see the famous Pink Lake on this guided tour.
Explore the renowned Lake Retba, often referred to as Pink Lake or Lake Rose, a must-visit destination in Senegal. Although the lake's signature pink hue is not currently present due to environmental issues affecting the algae Dunaliella salina, the enchanting visit to the surrounding sand dunes compensates for this temporary change. Despite the altered color, the allure of this destination remains irresistible.

Lake Retba has etched its place in Senegal's landscape not just for its captivating pink waters but also as the concluding stage of the famed Paris-Dakar rally. While the lake's color may be in flux, the thrill of witnessing the final leg of this legendary rally still resonates.

Beyond the lake's shores, the adventure extends to the Noflaye turtles village, enriching your experience with a deeper connection to the local ecology. While the iconic pink shade may be temporarily absent, the allure of Lake Retba persists through the exploration of the captivating sand dunes and the cultural tapestry woven by the Noflaye turtles village.

Embark on a journey that goes beyond the surface, discovering the multifaceted appeal of Lake Retba, where the interplay of nature and human culture creates an unforgettable tapestry.
