Bandia Park Safari (minimo 2 partecipanti)

Great, lots of animals, very large reserve and well trained guide, I recommend this experience but contacting you directly at your hotel to pay much less than what is advertised on websites such as Getourguide

Saw almost all forms of wildlife that reside at Bandia on our nearly 2 hour drive through the reserve on a sunny warm day. There are no lions or elephants here (separate lion reserve across street), but plenty of other big game. This small group tour (6 of us) was a great alternative to the tour bus cruise excursion. Located an hour outside of Dakar, mostly via smooth highway, we got there in time to beat the crowd. Our guide Liman was friendly, helpful, and shared interesting info about the city, landmarks, and suburbs. There was good communication beforehand regarding meet up, so we easily found the driver and guide holding a tour company sign at the cruise terminal. Our tour included lunch of traditional Senegal food at a restaurant in town. Getting there was quite an adventure maneuvering through heavy traffic, street hawkers, and motorcycles going opposite directions weaving around vehicles. We had a good driver! Entire trip was 8:30am-3pm, additional time mainly due to afternoon traffic, so plan accordingly.

The safari was very satisfying. It's important to get to Bandia Park as early as possible because this safari is quite popular. My favorite animals to see were rhinos, many monkeys, warthogs, and giraffes -including baby giraffes. Following the safari we had a tasty meal of jollof rice at a restaurant in the Medina nieghborhood of Dakar. Our guide Mamadou was an excellent driver and thoroughly knowledgeable.

Great experience getting a taste of wildlife in a more natural environment than safari park back home.Our guide was excellent with great English and very knowledgeable about Senagal.The wait in the game park was quiet long but this had nothing to do with excursion provider,as was the coaches of fellow tourists turning up.

Amazing! Mr Ceesay has a wealth of knowledge about Senegal, Dakar and Bandia. He is multilingual which helps for those who speak either French or English. Highly recommend!

Lions came out even in the middle of day. Guide for the safari was very knowledgeable. All were able to communicate in English.

We had a wonderful time. Our in park guide and driver knew exactly where to go to find as many animals as possible. We saw ostrich, giraffes, warthogs, antelope, guinea fowl, zebras and more. And we didn’t just see one. We saw many. It was well worth the time.

Highly recommended! The guide was great (also speaks good English). Picked us up from the hotel (on time) and brought us to the park. Been there about 2 hours and then brought back to the hotel. Nice to see the animals and receive all the extra history from the guide about Senegal. I have no - points to this experience! Thank you so much, was definitely worth the money!!

My family had a great experience on this tour. The guide was very easily found. We left in a timely manner. We had plenty of time to enjoy all the animals inside the Reserve. The included lunch was delicious and very filling. I recommend taking this tour.

The safari exceeded our expectations. The drivers picked us up from our guesthouse perfectly on time and we headed off to Bandia. During the drive we were told interesting facts in perfect English about Senegal, stuff that just doesnt come up in Wikipedia articles. At Bandia we drove around for maybe 2 hours and saw an abundance of different animals, including a rhino and buffalos from the Big Five, plus tens of other breeds. Pretty much up to par with a safari we did in Tanzania, although shorter and cheaper.
