About this trip
Six days across Senegal built around history, faith, and everyday city life, from Dakar's landmarks out to the towns that shape the country's culture.
You move between the coast and inland Senegal, taking in a mix of colonial history, religious heritage, and local life rather than sticking to one region.
It's a fully guided, private trip, so the pace and route stay flexible while still covering a good spread of the country in a short time.
What you'll do
- Visit the African Renaissance Monument in Dakar
- Take the boat to Goree Island and its historic sites
- See the pink-tinted waters of Lac Rose
- Explore the market town of Kaolack
- Visit Touba, Senegal's centre of Mufidiyya Islam
- Stop in Ndagane and the coastal town of Saly
- Private, fully guided trip rather than a fixed group departure
- Six days cover several towns and regions, so expect a fair amount of moving around
- Suited to those wanting a broad first look at Senegalese culture rather than one deep, slow-paced stop
