I love this beautifully and cuturally rich country and I look forward to sharing it with you. Whether you are traveling alone, with your family or a small group of friends, my customized tours can be built to your specifications and needs, and can accommodate up to 30 people or more. Please, send an inquiry if you have a large group. Here are some elements I hope you will consider as you choose your Guide. **I lived for 10 years in the USA, so I can offer you both an inside and external view of Senegal. In addition to helping me perfect my use of the English language, this time expanded my world view and hopefully will allow me to better understand and answer your questions about my country's culture and people. Instead of hiring support from various sources, I have collected a top-notch team of people during the last 20 years to assist me in providing you excellent care and support. ** In this predominantly French speaking country, all of my tours are solely conducted in ENGLISH. **I am fluent in English, French and Wolof. This allows me to communicate easily with you, and interprete for you, should you wish to' speak' with Locals. **I will show you in a short time, what you probably couldn't experience on your own, even with more time. **My goal is to connect with you and give you a wonderful experience. **These tours are tailor made to suit you. We can adapt them as we go to make sure you are spending your limited time doing those things of most interest to you. Given the many years I have been doing this, I feel that I am best able to do such tailoring since I know about travel time, traffic, schedules, etc. . **Even if you do not choose me as your Guide, I am happy to try and answer questions for you. You have a limited amount of time and there is much to see and do here. I don't want you to waste your precious time. My whole goal is to make sure visitors who use my service see the best Dakar has to offer, have fun and take home a memorable experience. In Dakar where OLD is NEW, HOT is COOL, anybody can be somebody at least for a while. LET ME SHOW YOU THE RIGHT WAY! .

For layover passengers and people who are here for a day, this half-day tour is designed to give you a mixed taste of the city from culture to wildlife. The drive to BANDIA animal reserve offers great views of rural life. As we are driving, all my attention will be dedicated to your questions. I enjoy telling stories that add a dimension to what people see. This may be a lifetime opportunity to see these majestic animals, something you will always remember. Join me on this Safari tour to enjoy a little slice of paradise.
Oumar did an outstanding job as our guide. He answered all of my questions quickly and was able to put together a tour for 9 of us at the last minute! Oumar made the whole day effortless for our group. He was waiting for us inside the port terminal and lead us to our van with driver for the day. Thank you Oumar for being so responsive and for being a great tour guide. Our group enjoyed the day and all of your insight and information about Senegal.
He was so nice to me, made me feel like a close friend from the first moment. He made me feel safe in all moments even when there was some unexpected situations he saved the problem in a second. If you want to have a great time, be in time back to the place you have to be, enjoy the real life in Senegal and feel secure. He is the right guide. Thanks for a great great experience. Thanks to you I will come back to Dakar
Oumar was an incredible tour guide. As three Americans visiting Senegal for the first time, we learned so much from spending the day with him, including a few wolof lessons! Oumar was knowledgeable, passionate, and funny. We explored the safari and Pink Lake, followed by an amazing tour of a nearby village, where we interacted with locals and learned about their village. I highly recommend Oumar - he is an A+ guide who goes to great lengths to ensure you have an unforgettable experience. Jerejef Oumar!
Our visit to Bandia was wonderful. The opportunity to see animals such as rhinos, giraffes, and ostriches in a natural setting was very memorable. And of course, those monkeys! Watch your lunch! Oumar was our guide to Bandia, and he was very helpful in providing information about the reserve. On our way to and from the Bandia reserve, Oumar shared information about the culture of Dakar and Senegal, which was very interesting. I highly recommend Oumar for tours of Dakar and other parts of Senegal.
Oumar is a gem. Smart, helpful, courteous, and full of information and enthusiasm. You will learn a lot and appreciate Senegalese culture and people in a deep and complete way. You can do no better.
I traveled to Dakar on official business and had just a day to experience all that I could. Choosing Oumar was a great decision! Not only did he message me and call me in the US prior to my visit, he made it a priority to arrange a day that I wanted. My flight time and hotel were not known until the day I arrived and yet Oumar was there at my hotel with his driver, making the pick up effortless. Although I was only there for a day, it was wonderful and I would recommend Oumar for your trip to Dakar!!!
Leave Dakar for a 1-hour drive to one of Senegal¨s preferred animal sanctuary. - Enjoy the view of traditional villages on the way and the Baobab forest. - Upon arrival, board the 4x4 Jeep for 1 hour 30 min guided tour with a professional Safari Guide. - Our last stop will be at the crocodile pool for pictures. - After the visit, we will proceed for a 1-hour drive back to the Dakar hotel. I can customise the tour to fit your preferences. Let me know!
