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! .

Overview of your Dakar tour

A 45 minute drive from downtown Dakar, takes us to the Senegalese version of the Dead Sea. If you want to get away from the city for a bit, the Pink Lake would be a good option. However, the drive to the Lake offers great views of rural life. Within years, the Pink Lake has been one of the most visited places in the city thanks to its color but also thanks to organizers of the Paris to Dakar Rally The lake has algae live in the water and attracted to the natural salt. The algae is what causes the Pink color when the sun shines on the Lake. It's well worth a visit. Very interesting to see men harvesting the salt. Enjoy huge salt piles. A 4 Wheel Drive through the sand-dunes and along the Ocean give a unique experience. I look forward to showing you how the lake has a tremendous impact on the lives of the local population.
