Circuit 2 jours Lac rose- désert de Lompoul 2 personnes minimum

Nice experience Even if it's not like it used to be

The driver and guide were excellent. Bob was attentive and helped us find clothes as our luggage got lost. Very good value for money and we did lot in a short amount of time. The desert was great but the tent was a little hot. There was a thunder storm in the middle of the night and the tent leaked a little but it was quite refreshing!

I now know why this is SUCH a popular excursion! Thanks to other travelers who wrote reviews on what a lovely time they had I booked this. I may still have under-appreciated just how much I'd enjoy NOT having to to negotiate and haggle my way to the different parts of the trip. Having a great driver and (english-speaking) guide who shared so much about language and culture of Senegal, the different ethnic groups, religion and society and took care of everything from getting us water to meals and seamlessly getting us in and out of activities just made for a really wonderful time! Mostly though: the desert is magical ever-windswept and beautiful. Yes, the wind means I even found sand between my teeth when flossing, but it also keeps you surprisingly cool. And while simple, there were way more creature-comforts than I expected. Not only did our tent have a real bed with a mosquito-net, linens pillows and blankets, it had a real sit down-flush toilet and running water to wash hands! There's even cell-phone reception and one tent had an outlet where one could charge a phone. Ie I could even bring my Mom here! I got what I had most hoped for: an amazing starry night in the endless darkness and quiet of the desert. I'm taking the pictures and the feeling home with me. GO NOW while you can, this entire desert and the lovely Ecolodge will make space for a large rare-earth mine in the coming two years and this desert and its way of life for this group of people will be gone from Senegal.

As the sun slowly rises above the horizon, illuminating the calm waters of the Atlantic Ocean, I find myself on Petite Côte beach, bathed in the golden light of dawn. This is the start of an unforgettable adventure through Senegal, a country steeped in cultural diversity, breathtaking landscapes and traditions rich in history. My first stop takes me to Saint-Louis, a UNESCO World Heritage city, where the cobbled streets still resonate with echoes of the colonial past. I stroll through the historic district of the island of Saint-Louis, admiring the colorful architecture of French colonial houses and listening to the melodious sound of djembes coming from busy street corners. From there, I head to the Delta du Saloum National Park, a biodiversity sanctuary where mangroves stretch as far as the eye can see and exotic birds soar above the tranquil marshes. I take a boat to explore the uninhabited islands, discovering picturesque fishing villages and tasting fresh seafood prepared by the hospitable locals. My journey continues into the Lompoul Desert, where golden sand dunes stretch as far as the eye can see, offering a breathtaking landscape. I ride a camel for an excursion through the dunes, admiring the spectacular sunset that paints the sky in warm, vibrant hues. After exploring the dry desert lands, I travel to the verdant Casamance region, where meandering rivers meander through lush forests and palm plantations. I wander through traditional villages, exchanging smiles and stories with the welcoming locals, and tasting the region's culinary delights, like delicious fish rice and spicy peanut sauce. My trip culminates in Langue de Barbarie National Park, where sand dunes blend seamlessly with coastal mangroves and pristine stretches of beach. I walk along nature trails, watching sea turtles nesting on beaches and listening to the soothing rustle of waves crashing against the shore. As my trip comes to an end, I realize that Senegal is much more than just a travel destination; it is a country where unforgettable encounters, breathtaking landscapes and enriching experiences come together to create memories that will last a lifetime.

We made several excursions with Senegal Excursions (Dakar and the island of Goree. The reserve and the Bandia ranch. Saint Louis and Djoujd as well as the arrival of the fisherman at MBour as well as the craft market) and had a pleasant time with djibril max and hibou thank you to them and if I come back to Senegal I would go through them again they are very kind thank you again to you and I hope to see you soon

A big thank you to Sénégal Excursions and particularly to our guide Modou who made us love his country. We went from discovery to discovery thanks to him. A competent, exceptional, human guide for whom every problem finds its solution. If we ever return to Senegal, we will use Sénégal Excursions and Modou again. Thank you for everything. Jërëjëf

Very nice experience for the whole family. Thank you Modou for your professionalism and "true talk" We really enjoyed our exchanges.

Excellent excursion, great guide, thank you Modou! No rose at the lake, but very interesting shares

We were with family, so private trip, organized from France with Djeebril. We had already taken excursions with him. Max, our guide knows the country very well and has met our wishes. Thanks also to Samba our driver. It is a very nice outing, the camp is very comfortable

Amazing trip to get out of the city and see some great parts of Senegal. Our guide Moussa and driver Omar were amazing. The desert was a personal favourite and was super peaceful, had amazing food, and surprisingly good accommodation. Absolutely worth the price!
