Eastern Senegal

After approximately 10 hours by car from Dakar, a world of untouched beauty unfolds – a perfect destination for adventure seekers and nature lovers. Here, you’ll encounter the Africa that many dream of: vast savannahs, roaring waterfalls, green mountains, dense forests, and small communities where many people still live in traditional huts.

Along the Gambia River, there is a unique opportunity to observe hippos in their natural habitat up close. With the help of local guides, you can embark on hikes that take you through spectacular landscapes and lead to encounters with the Bassari and Bedik peoples. These communities still live in traditional villages, built from stone and banco (a type of clay brick), in the mountains, and have preserved a lifestyle deeply rooted in strong cultural traditions and a close connection to nature.

Eastern Senegal is a place where adventure, encounters, and magnificent nature go hand in hand.
