🌍Are you ready for an unforgettable journey to the heart of West Africa? Join me on a 9 day mesmerizing trip to Senegal, a land of vibrant culture, captivating history, and breathtaking natural beauty. This is your chance to explore a country that seamlessly blends West African traditions, modernity and progress. 🇸🇳Senegal is known for its warm and welcoming people. Get ready to connect with locals, share stories, and immerse yourself in Senegalese culture and vibrant life. Senegal is home to Gorée Island, a UNESCO World Heritage site that bears witness to the transatlantic slave trade. From the bustling markets of Dakar to the serene beauty of the Pink Lake (Lac Rose) and the stunning beaches of Saly, Senegal offers diverse landscapes that will leave you in awe. I am looking for 6 trip-mates who want to experience the authentic and natural beauty of Senegal with me. We will be exploring different regions, from the coast line with beautiful beaches, to the countryside and safari, to spend time in the vibrant capital of Dakar. We'll combine comfortable accommodations at beautiful beach sites and in the city. A driver with a mini-bus and a guide will be with us at all times for the whole trip. Expected activities on this trip include: water sports (surfing, jetski, paddling), ATVs (quads), camel rides, ziplining, safari.
