Best of Senegal
We were a group of 8 and we silent 9 days touring different regions of Senegal with Pape and his driver Lam
Pape treated us with kindness , thoughtfulness and care . It’s not easy to manage these many ppl with various needs ; he was always gracious , patient , and ready to pivot . He always made sure that our needs were met and prioritized
Where ever we went , he explained historical context, he had wonderful and professional contacts outside of Dakar , and stepped in and translated when needed
I consider him a friend now and will definitely reach out upon my return to Senegal

Thank you so much for these kind words! It was truly a pleasure to host your group of eight over those nine days. Managing a large group is always an adventure, but your patience and curiosity made my job. We loved sharing the history and beauty of our country with you. You arrived as clients, but I am so happy we are leaving as friends. Know that you always have a home and a friend here in Senegal. See you on your next visit.
12 days Senegal... an unforgettable experience.
For twelve days we were allowed to enjoy an unforgettable trip through Senegal. We visited Dakar, Île de Gorée, La Somone, M’bour, Warang, Réserve de Bandia, Mjoal-Fagiouth, Sine-Saloum, Saint-Louis and the desert of Lompoul.
Our trip was managed by the super cool and warm guide Pape Eric of « Sensafari », who shared with us with infectious enthusiasm his love for his country. Together with our skilled driver Malick they formed a top team.
We immersed ourselves in the local culture, enjoyed the rhythm, the colors, the hospitality and the special atmosphere that makes Senegal so unique.
Thank you, Pape, for your good care, your warm friendship and your unforgettable optimism. An absolute must for anyone looking for more than just a trip.

Ce fut une expérience inoubliable que nous avons jamais vécu avec un groupe comme celui de Mark, Gerald, Helene, Anuck, Charlotte, Sam et .... Ce circuit qui a dure 9 jours a commence de Dakar a Somone, Bandia, Joal Fadhiout, Sine Saloum, Saint Louis, Lompoul pour finir a Thiès. Votre sens de l humour, votre gentillesse et générosité ont rendu cet expérience si spéciale. Les 9 jours ont été pour nous comme juste une journée tellement que nous n avons pas senti le temps passé.
Nous vous sommes vraiment reconnaissant pour le temps pris pour nous écrire un tel commentaire.
Nous espérons vous revoir une autre fois dans ce beau pays le Sénégal.
Pepe Eric is great!
Shell island was a wonderful and intriguing visit to people living in seemingly a different time. Very tranquil. Consider it a must experience when visiting Dakar. Pepe Eric was very informative, engaging and cordial. He was right on time, and picked us up and dropped us off at the hotel.

Thank you Ericka for taking the tilme to write this review. I was so pleased to do this tour with you. Your kindess and friendliness have made the tour so wonderful. I still have this image of you in my mind when you came out from the sacred baobab hole. It s an unforgettable souvenir.
A good way to see Joal-Fidout
A good experience. Eric was kind and professional tour guide. Tour encompassed a walk around the old town, a walk around the cemetery island, then a short boat ride along the mangroves.

It was a great day of visit with a good person like you. Your kindness made the tour so wonderful.
Thank you, James.
Worth the trek!!
This was truly a life changing experience; the highlight of Senegal! This place isn’t overrun with tourism & is where you can see an authentic side of the country. It is a journey (3 hours) but it is so worth it. My tour guide was very kind and I cannot say enough good things about Edward, the guide on Shell Island. I can’t wait to bring my family back here!
