Private tour

Saloum Delta — 3 Days in the Heart of the Mangrove

From 335 EUR / person (base 2)

Three days to discover one of West Africa's most beautiful ecosystems. The Saloum Delta is a maze of bolongs, mangrove and shell islands where time stands still. You navigate by pirogue, spot dolphins (if you're lucky), discover Serer traditions on Mar Lodj island, and eat fish that was in the water an hour ago. On the way, a stop at Joal-Fadiouth — the shell island. Two nights in a lodge, feet in the mangrove.
