Itinerary

Dakar
Meeting at Paris airport. Welcomed by your tour guide, assistance with check-in formalities. Flight... more+ to Dakar on a scheduled airline. Arrive at the airport, meet your local guide and transfer by coach to your 4* hotel. The capital of Senegal and the first ‘gateway to Africa’, Dakar is today a city resolutely open to the outside world. But it is also, and perhaps above all, a city of tradition and history, which has managed to reconcile a certain modernism with an ancient African heritage. Europeans and Africans alike will tell you: Dakar can't leave you indifferent, and you'll fall under its spell. Check-in at your hotel. Dinner and overnight stay. 
Accommodation: Overnight stay in hotel included more+

Dakar Gorée Island Dakar
Just offshore, we'll be heading for the island of Gorée, where you can take a breather and enjoy... more+ the peace and quiet of a timeless village, with its ochre houses and blue shutters, its gardens planted with palm trees and bougainvillea. One of the first UNESCO World Heritage sites. This island is the symbol and history of slavery. At the end of the day, return by boat to Dakar for a panoramic tour before boarding the ship.

Dakar
Located 40 km north of Dakar, Lac Rose is one of Senegal's most visited sites. Set between lagoons... more+ and the ocean, this salty lake owes its colour - which varies from pink to mauve depending on the time of day and the intensity of the sun - to the presence of microscopic algae and micro-organisms. The coloured waters of the lake contrast with the white sand of the surrounding dunes. In addition to the variations in colour, life on the lake is punctuated by the activity of the pirogues used to collect the salt. More than two thousand men make their living from this activity. Day trip (approx. 8hrs) - 140 €/pers.

Praia Sal Rei
It's like a mirage in the middle of the ocean, with its light, white sand, shades of blue and dunes... more+ disappearing into the transparent sea. The island of Boavista seems out of time: few inhabitants, no vehicles, few shops... You'll set off to explore the island in a pick-up truck, and you'll feel as if you're entering the Sahara, with dunes that are shaped by the force of the wind, constantly transforming the landscape as they tumble into the sea. ½ day excursion (approx. 4h00) - 75 €/pers.
