If you gave us one guess, we’d say the number-one reason you’re coming to Senegal is for the wildlife. The uninhabited islands in the Saloum Delta – which you’ll visit on our Experience Senegal tour – are home to about 250 different species of bird. And over in Fathala Wildlife Reserve – another stop on the tour – you can set eyes on giraffes, rhinos, zebras, monkeys and crocodiles.
When you’re not clapping eyes on the local animals, take your chance to bolt for a beach. Senegal’s coastline’s scattered with camel-coloured sandy swathes, with the best of the bunch lined up in the holiday resorts of Pointe Sarene and Saly. Our five-day Experience Senegal tour winds up at a beachfront hotel, where you’ll have some extra days to work on your tan before heading home.
Senegal’s capital, Dakar, is within daytripping distance of Point Sarene and Saly, so if you fancy a break from your beach time, you can hop in a taxi and be there in a couple of hours. The city’s open-air markets are one of its must-sees, so don’t forget to bring some cash with you. If learning about the country’s history sounds more up your street, there are plenty of museums to pick from, too.
