Full-day Bandia / Somone Lagoon: The safari experience

This is a wonderful option to get away from the city a bit. This one-hour drive from downtown Dakar offers great views of rural life. This full-day tour experience is designed to give you a mixed taste of the city from animals to culture and adventure. It all starts with an early visit to where you have a chance to spot Rhinos, Zebras, Giraffes, Buffaloes, etc...on a private 4WD safari Jeep along with a professional safari guide. After the visit, we will proceed for a one-hour drive to the pink lake, 10 times saltier than the Atlantic Ocean. Very interesting to see how men harvest the salt from the lake and women unload it from the boat and pile it up. You will also be given the opportunity to visit a traditional Fulani village, meet with the chief and interact with the locals. Picture opp and possibility to swim in the designated swimming area.
