The private reserve of Bandia constitutes a small jewel of ecological success by the surprising regeneration of its flora and the reintroduction of large African mammals, sometimes disappeared for centuries, under demographic pressure and poaching. It is located 65 km from Dakar and 15 km from Saly-Portudal (seaside resort on the "small coast") on the main road (N1) going to Mbour

The timely pickup and transfer were positive. Upon arriving at the park, I had to discuss via WhatsApp for about 30 minutes with the organizer to receive the booked services. What a pity. Too much hassle for a half-day tour; perhaps because I was traveling alone as a woman. The park was beautiful. In the end, I did receive everything as booked. I regularly book through Tripvisor; however, I would not choose the organizer again. That was unprofessional.
Animals were fabulous , Ismail was a fantastic guide ensuring we got good photos of the animals. Was enthralled by the giraffe’s
Very interesting...opportunity for a safari if you are for Dakar👍...................................
A pleasant walk at reservation Nearly direct contact with animals Seeing its natural habitat was very pleasant and seeing various species. We like the visit I recommend
Safari in Bandia Reserve In a 4x4, we travel through the forest of baobabs and acacias to discover giraffes 🦒, monkeys 🙊, zebras 🦓, gazelles, birds, rhino couple 🦏.... The guide takes the time to explain, answer our questions. For 2 hours, but it passes very quickly, we had time to take many beautiful photos and videos The reserve is very well maintained, the animals are peaceful. In short, it is very beautiful and we recommend this visit It will remain a very nice memory 😍
The tour was fantastic. A driver picked us up on time and we went straight to the Bandia Reserve. We were greeted by the Reserve driver who organised our guide. We were on a Jeep without other people which was perfect - some trucks were big with many tourists on them. Our guide was knowledgeable and we saw all animal types on the reserve. We were impressed with the tour and how well organised it was. Excellent communication throughout.
**Dear Joanne,** Thank you so much for your feedback! We are delighted to hear that you had a fantastic experience at Bandia Reserve and that everything was well organized for you. Providing a private and comfortable safari experience is one of our top priorities, and we’re glad you enjoyed having the 4x4 just for yourselves. It’s also wonderful to know that you appreciated the expertise of our guide and had the chance to see all the animals in the reserve. Your kind words about our communication mean a lot to us! We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and we hope to welcome you again for another great adventure in Senegal. **Best regards,** Delta
With my husband, we do not want to take a bus tour, grouped with the other tourists of the Pension and prefer to go to the locals. A friend had advised us Delta celine excursions and we are happy to have met him. There are his encounters that mark you forever in your life!! He adapted to our needs, with a private driver to be able to be with us during the tours and inform us. We felt safe, and he knew how to perceive our expectations and adapt to our needs over 6 days: Village MBOUR, orphanage "Living together" (you can open a secure pool on their website), school of the bush, Siné saloum, DAKAR, island of gorée, quad in the middle of Baobab, Senegalese quality meals In the day Senegalese.an unforgettable experience
a team with little care for clients. well-organized programs all in private.Stay as you are discovering your country with values.We had a very good stay thanks to you all,Delta ,opa ,assane .... Favourite; Senegalese day the home cooking workshop
The scenery and animals were fabulous. There was harmony between visitors and the environment. What would change would be the vehicles that seemed very polluting to me and smelled a lot of fuel.
Our driver didnt Show up to pick us up. The telephone Number we had was Not working. I even sent a mail to confirm the Pick up Time a couple days before the Safari and Never Received an answer! So i definetly can Not recommend This!
Mr. I am sorry that you were not able to do your safari. On site when your cruise ship docked your driver waited for you for two hours on site with the sign in your name. We tried to contact you by your mobile phone. Nevertheless we We apologize for this misunderstanding and hope to be able to serve you better during your next stay in Senegal.
