From Dakar: Keur Moussa Monastery and Pink Lake Day Trip From Dakar: Keur Moussa Monastery and Pink Lake Day Trip

Discover the Keur Moussa Monastery and Pink Lake on a day trip from Dakar. Attend a Sunday mass, shop for local products, enjoy a local lunch, and float in the ultra-salty waters of the lake.
Begin your day with a drive from Somone or Dakar to the Keur Moussa Monastery, nestled in a peaceful, green setting. Discover this spiritual haven founded by Benedictine monks. Depending on the day and time, you may have the chance to attend the famous Sunday Mass or services, accompanied by melodic songs played on the kora and balafon.

Stop at the monastery's shop to explore and support local craftsmanship. Browse artisanal goat cheeses, fresh fruit juices, jams, and the famous koras made on-site.

Pause for lunch at a local restaurant or enjoy a shaded picnic in the Thiès area or along the route to Lake Retba.

Arrive at Lake Retba, known for its pink-hued waters, especially vibrant under the afternoon sun. Observe and interact with salt collectors who manually extract salt from the lakebed.

Take a 4x4 ride on the stunning sand dunes that separate the lake from the Atlantic Ocean, once a legendary stage of the Paris-Dakar rally. If you wish, experience the unique sensation of floating on the lake's ultra-salty water.

End your day by watching the changing twilight colors over the lake before heading back to Somone or Dakar.
