Senegal Mangroves & Island Life

Experience Senegal’s mangroves, island life and Atlantic coast — at a comfort-first pace On this eight-day journey designed for relaxed discovery (especially if you prefer a little more ease than “go-go-go”), you’ll explore Senegal’s most soulful landscapes: the golden coastline of Saly, the calm waters of the Somone Lagoon, and the winding mangrove channels of the Sine-Saloum. After settling in by the sea, take a gentle boat ride through Somone’s bird-rich lagoon, then travel inland to Ndangane and glide by pirogue through the bolongs — a peaceful world of mangroves, fishing villages and wide open skies. Along the way, meet local communities with a special focus on meaningful encounters, including the inspiring women batteuses of Gamb, and visit Mar Lodj, where daily life reflects Senegal’s famous spirit of coexistence. Continue to Joal-Fadiouth (Shell Island) for one of the country’s most unique village visits, then enjoy time for crafts and fabrics in Mbour. Near the end, swap waterways for dunes with a 4x4 adventure around Lac Retba (Pink Lake) and the Atlantic shoreline. If flight timing allows, finish with Gorée Island and a guided taste of Dakar — a thoughtful close to a trip that balances culture, nature and comfort.
