Family-friendly, one-of-a-kind experience - Amadou was a fantastic tour guide. My family (husband and three sons ages 5-12) and I were traveling to Dakar for a wedding, but wanted to see more of Senegal while we there. Amadou picked us up from the airport when we arrived, took us on this tour and then dropped us off at our Airbnb in Dakar. Everything went so smoothly. Every detail seemed to be meticulously planned. Amadou was also very attentive to our interests and our kids' interests. He asked them right away what they were excited about. My oldest son said he hoped to see a monkey. As we were driving the first day, Amadou noticed a monkey on the side of the road and had the driver stop so we could get out and see it. It turned out to be a lot of monkeys and it made our kids' day. The accomodations were excellent, and the food was incredible. This was the kind of unique experience we never could have created for ourselves. I highly recommend it! One helpful thing to know is that this tour includes several local tour guides (all included in the cost of the tour), but it's good to have cash to be able to tip them if you want.

Recommended trip for nature and culture lovers - I can absolutely recommend this trip! It was a great way to experience the Saloum Delta and other places in the South of Senegal. I enjoyed all the activities included in this trip and I completely relaxed at the Nouvel Vague camp overlooking the lake, and during the lunch in nature. If you want to discover more of Senegal's beautiful culture and nature, then this is the tour package for you! Everything was arranged very well, we didn't have to worry about anything.

Don’t hesitate to book ! - Thanks to Amadou for this exceptional weekend! Its program allowed us to discover the Saloum Delta well with lots of entertaining activities (carriage, lunch with your feet in the water, canoe, visit of a baobab, etc.). His good humor and kindness embellished the proposed circuit!

Amazing Experience - Highly recommend!! - What a great tour of the Delta and Joal Fadiouth! Amadou was a real professional and looked after our group as if we were family. Speaking both French and English, Amadou looked after us every step of the way. From the trip on the piroques to the granaries, Shell island and Fadiouth; the horse and cart ride and stops at several local villages; a 're-birth' experience at one of the largest Boabab trees; 2 great nights accommodation with local food, all culminating in a boat trip and final barbecue lunch right in the river to the tune of african drums in the background. What can I say... give it a go!

A Real Taste of West Africa - Amadou is an excellent guide and every part of our journey felt authentic and exciting. Whether we were canoeing around the river systems, eating lunch in the mangroves, exploring local villages, we always felt safe and welcome. Major highlights for me were learning how to play the drums and climbing into an 800 year old tree! Awesome stuff!
