Keur Moussa Monastery Mass + Lac Rose — Sunday from Dakar

May sell out

On Sunday mornings, Benedictine monks sing mass with koras and balafons in a monastery tucked away in the Senegalese bush. It's the kind of beautiful that gives you goosebumps — and it doesn't exist anywhere else. After this timeless moment, we head to Lac Rose for an afternoon of discovery. Spirituality in the morning, nature in the afternoon: the perfect Sunday in Senegal.

What to expect

We pick you up early from your hotel (45-minute drive). Arrival at Keur Moussa Monastery, founded by monks from the Abbey of Solesmes in France. The Sunday mass (10 AM) is world-famous: liturgical chants accompanied by koras, balafons and African percussion. Believer or not, it's a moment that stays with you. After mass, stop at the shop: the monks make their own goat cheeses and jams (excellent). Drive to Lac Rose. Lunch at Restaurant Chez Salim. Lake tour, Peul village visit, salt harvesters. Float in the lake, freshwater rinse. Back in Dakar by late afternoon.
