What to expect
Early morning departure from your hotel. Head to Dakar's port for the ferry to Gorée (20-minute crossing). On the island: streets lined with colorful houses draped in bougainvillea, the House of Slaves, Saint Charles Church, artist workshops. You'll have time to wander or swim at the beach. Ferry back, then drive to Lac Rose (about 1.5 hours). Lunch at Restaurant Chez Salim - Senegalese specialties, practically sitting in the sand. After lunch: lake tour, visit a Peul village, salt harvesters at work. And of course, the swim: you float, period. We rinse you off with fresh water and head back to Dakar by evening.
