The Motherland dream tour

This popular tour requires a minimum of 2 participants. It allows you to explore Dakar and Goree Island taking you back to 350 years of African Slavery.
Explore the Pink Lake, a natural curiosity. The senegalese version of the Dead-sea. Experience salt collectors harvesting the salt. Also visit the original city of Saint-Louis, the African door to French colonisation. However, Saint-Louis reminds you of New Orleans with wooden balconies lining the narrow streets.
With a boat ride to SIPPO island, you will meet for the first time an African Queen and pose for souvenir pictures.
An overnight in tents with modern toilets in the middle of the desert is an unfogettable experience.
Visit one of the most beautiful MOSQUE in West Africa located in the holy city of TOUBA.
With a 4 WD and a Safari Guide, we will explore the BANDIA animal reserve.
PS: while exploring the culture, you will also be given the opportunity to relax and enjoy beach and pool time in some of the most beautiful resort on the Atlantic Ocean.

A Recent Review of this tour

Oumar is deeply knowledgeable about Senegal and eager to share what he knows. We visited several very interesting sites and came away with a rich cultural experience. We were a group of 4, ranging in age from mid-20's to upper 60's and we all felt grateful that we found Tours By Locals and Oumar. It's hard to pick out a favorite moment, but perhaps it was the ride around Langue de Barbarie in a local fishing boat.
