Niokolo Koba Safari — 4 Days in the Heart of the Senegalese Savanna

The real safari is here. Not a fenced reserve — a 900,000-hectare UNESCO-listed national park where animals roam completely free. Hyenas, hippos, monkeys, antelopes, gazelles, and if you're lucky, one of the last lions in West Africa. You drive a 4x4 through the bush, have a picnic in the park, sleep by the Gambia River. Four days of total disconnection, between savanna, river and wildlife. The kind of trip that changes how you see Senegal.
