Route

  1. Arrive in Dakar. We pick you up, drop the bags and ease into the city: traffic, grilled food in the air, the Atlantic nearby and your first bearings with the team. No staged welcome, just Dakar as it is.

Why this trip

Two countries, one real route, one local team

This trip is built by a team that lives here, not by a distant catalog. You see the big names, yes, but with the right roads, the right timing, the right stops and the small scenes that change everything: tea served too hot, a noisy market, sunset on the dunes, a pirogue moving through mangroves. Senegal and The Gambia together give you a wider, livelier and rarer feeling of West Africa.

Two countries, one smooth route

You move from French-speaking Senegal to English-speaking The Gambia without wrestling with borders, timing and backup plans. We handle the ground work.

Local, but organized

We keep the life of local travel, with real structure: reliable drivers, coherent stops, Dakar support and clear pre-trip information.

Small group, real energy

At a maximum of 15 guests, you get the group energy without losing the freedom to breathe, talk, stop and actually experience the place.

Dates and prices

Secure your place with a flexible deposit of 755 EUR € when your trip starts 15+ days from now.

Final payment is due 15 days before departure. If you cancel 30+ days before the trip, your deposit is kept as travel credit for a future Safari Senegal departure.
