Discover Langue de Barbarie National Park of Saint-Louis

Langue de Barbarie National Park is where nature's symphony of sights and sounds awaits! Nestled just twenty kilometers south of Saint-Louis in Gandiolais, this sanctuary stands as one of Senegal's six national parks. "La langue" means tongue in English, and it's born from the meeting of the Senegal River with the Atlantic Ocean, the "tongue" represents a long strip of sand, a cord of dunes absolutely fascinating! Established in 1976, Langue de Barbarie spans 2000 hectares of delicate ornithological reserve, a haven for migratory birds from April to October. Picture yourself amidst a kaleidoscope of flamingos, pelicans, cormorants, and more. As you explore the park's diverse landscape, you'll encounter sandy beaches teeming with sea turtles, and dunes adorned with casuarina trees standing tall against the coastal breeze. Join me on a journey of discovery, where every step unveils a new marvel, and every moment is a chance to connect with nature's timeless beauty.

Full Day Tour! Departure in the morning at 9:00 from your hotel in Saint-Louis to reach the entrance of the Langue de Barbarie National Park.
