Over time, his work around Nianing and the Petite Côte gained strong recognition from visitors seeking authentic, well-organized, and safe excursions. Senegal Travel Guide was created to extend this vision and offer a comprehensive travel guide platform dedicated to Senegal.

EXCELLENT Based on 41 reviews Posted on Cosmopolitan728029Verified Ideal stay in a great hotel Stayed at RIU Baobab from April 20th to 27th. Hotel is in great condition and kept clean at all times. Room was spacious and with a sea view. Room was kept cleaned and anything that needed changing was. Fresh water in bottles provided every day and if I wanted more it was provided. All staff I encountered were professional and friendly, always happy to help. Must mention Adriano in Safari bar and Helena in the main restaurant. Both very helpful and always with a smile and some humour. Didn’t really use the pool areas but used the beach most days. Always plenty of sun loungers and a choice of fixed umbrellas. They have beach cleaners picking up rubbish washed onshore from the sea, and they do a great job. Unfortunately many people just discard their cigarette butts on the sand and there is evidence of this. Food wise only used the main buffet restaurant and not the 3 separate ones. The food offered was ideal for me and I felt there was plenty of choice. Only complaint I would have is people wearing vests whilst dining in the buffet area, not particularly hygienic having hairy armpits hovering over food! We did 3 excursions which we booked using independent guides - safari park and lions, sea fishing trip through Max with Pape as our guide ( he was a fantastic guide and his English was perfect) definitely recommend these guys +221 77 702 16 61. We did a 3rd excursion booked through Dou Dou which was a 25k bike ride through the Popenguine Reserve and Somone Lagoon. Great experience but sadly on our way back to the hotel we were left in the car for 30 mins in the middle of a town with no explanation. Unfortunately this spoilt the experience for us.Posted on HunteraVerified everything is ok, we will give our opinion, especially my husband because he knows english, they were great, it was a pi Cudowne wycieczki piękny Senegal pokazany nam od kuchni z waszymi wycieczka mi super chłopaki odpowiadające na temat ludzi życia cudownego Senegalu polecam warto spierać takich ludzi z taka potecja 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰Posted on RIA CVerified Bezoek vissershaven van Mbour en de kerk van Nianing Wij bezochten met een gids van babacartriptravel de visserhaven van Mbour met zijn locale vismarkt en zijn kleurrijke visersboten .

We had a good experience with our Spanish speaking guide Ibrahim and our driver Mamadou. We purchased 3 full days tours with them.Posted on M ines SVerified Excepcional. A nossa experiência no Senegal foi absolutamente extraordinária, e grande parte desse encanto deve‑se ao trabalho excecional do nossa guia Babacar.Desde o primeiro momento, demonstrou uma combinação rara de profissionalismo, simpatia genuína e profundo conhecimento da cultura senegalesa. Sempre atento aos detalhes, adaptou cada etapa do itinerário ao nosso ritmo e interesses, fazendo-nos sentir totalmente seguros e acolhidos. Explicou com clareza a história, os costumes e a riqueza cultural do país, levando-nos a descobrir locais que jamais encontraríamos sozinhos. A sua energia positiva, paciência e dedicação transformaram cada visita num momento especial. Mostrou-se sempre disponível para ajudar, esclarecer dúvidas e garantir que tudo corria bem, permitindo-nos viver uma viagem leve, organizada e inesquecível. Recomendo-o sem qualquer hesitação. Viajar com um guia tão competente e apaixonado pelo seu país fez toda a diferença. Graças a ela, regressamos a casa não apenas com belas memórias, mas com uma ligação verdadeira ao Senegal e ao seu povo.... e sem dúvida de coração cheio! ObrigadaPosted on philippe rVerified Combinaison parfaite de soleil et de dépaysement Hotel très agréable, typique des RIU mais de taille humaine: pas des kilometres à courir pour aller au restaurant ; à la réception ou à la plage. Personnel impeccable, attentif et toujours souriant. L'architecture dénote un peu dans un pays comme le Sénégal mais nous avions une grande chambre propre et bien entretenue dans le batiment en front de mer - vraiment rien à dire. Grande plage propre avec suffisament de parasols et de couchettes sauf peut-etre en fin d'après-midi. L'hotel est bien situé et permet de silloner la région sans problème et sans perdre trop de temps sur les routes. Pour les amateurs, il y a des quads à coté de l'hotel et le tour qu'ils proposent à Nianing et environs sont dépaysants et instructifs. Nous avons également trouvé un chauffeur qui nous a amené à M'bour (retour des pecheurs), Sandiara (marchés locaux) et dans le delta de Saloum à des prix très compétitifs et avec un service impeccable: Pascal (+221 77 429 2545) Grands buffets plantureux et typiques des RIU: il faut savoir choisir ses plats. Nous avons apprécié d'avoir poissons, poulpes, gambas et calamars tous les jours en sus des fruits et légumes.Posted on ClaudieVerified Marché de N'Bour et port de pêche Nous avons fait un tour dans le marché de N' Bour et vu les pêcheurs avec Babacar Il nous a fait partager l'histoire du pays c'était très intéressant. N'hésitez pas à faire appel à lui. Très bon guide je recommande vivementPosted on Charles FVerified Merci Babakar pour ta gentillesse Un grand merci à Babzkar. Pour sa sympathie et sa disponibilité Nous a fait découvrir le marché de m’bour et un trip dans une école reculée des grandes villePosted on Virginie VVerified Babacar, un guide au top Babacar est un guide au top , il est professionnel et il est amoureux de son pays. Il est professionnel et très sympathique. Je recommande +++Posted on GuadyVerified Recomendamos Senegal 100% pero sobre todo coger guías locales, una experiencia inolvidable. Contratamos a Babacar desde España y alli pudimos conocer a su guia de habla española llamado Ussen y fue una experiencia muy inmersiva e increible. Recomendamos Senegal 100% pero sobre todo coger guías locales, una experiencia inolvidable. Gracias a toda la familia de Babacar Tryp Travel
