GREETINGS from Dakar, Senegal, WEST AFRICA!
You can now BOOK YOUR TOURS & DAY TRIPS/LAYOVERS online, in advance,and we can schedule a car & driver (that speaks some English and French) for self guided tours!
For SOLO TRAVELERS, an HONEST ENGLISH SPEAKING/BILINGUAL guide will be assigned to handle business transactions, translate the local flavor and tell you what you're looking at!
Sometimes, what you THINK you're seeing, isn't what you're seeing at all and having a CULTURAL TRANSLATOR makes your visit MORE INFORMATIVE and MEMORABLE.
We can also arrange ESCORTS to accompany you to SPORTING EVENTS, CONCERTS which is especially helpful if you have children, or, if you want to partake in the EXCITING NIGHTLIFE OF DAKAR but don't want to go out alone (clubs start jumping around midnight here!), we've got you covered for that as well!
When you book your tours just drop a note if you'd like to see a concert or sporting event and if something is scheduled, we'll get back with you with the dates, details and costs!
DAY TRIP - LAKE RETBA fka LAKE ROSE & TURTLE VILLAGE!
Pick up at your hotel, B&B or the Port of Dakar if you are on a cruise ship but don't want to pay their higher per person prices. I normally start the tours AFTER the morning rush hour so our visitors can sleep in, have a nice shower and get breakfast. There's no reason to rush about and then sit in traffic smelling exhaust for an hour every where we go... It works out to be the same amount of time so just RELAX, get some rest, and trust me on this - you're on VACATION, remember?!
Besides...The Sahara Desert and the Atlantic Ocean AREN'T GOING ANYWHERE!
This venue is located about an hour and a half max, outside the city of Dakar. Since we'll be avoiding rush hour it should a one hour road trip and we can stop off and get some sandwiches and snacks for the road to save some time and money for those short on time and traveling on a budget.
SIDE NOTE: I know a place that has GREAT chicken sandwiches and junk food!
I will point out various places of interest along the way, explain exactly what it is you're seeing and show you things you would have missed had I not been there! I'll also give you historical information about the country, the people and especially places of environmental importance.
Basically: I will share information that you will never learn from a guidebook or google!
Once we arrive at Lake Retba fka Lake Rose, we will go down the road beside the lake and meet up with the boatsman who will give you a ride to the middle and explain the salt mining activities. It's very interesting and the lake is totally quiet and peaceful, it's a lovely trip and you'll get to see where our Pink Lake Sea Salt comes from!
