Senegalese Street Food Tour in Dakar

Dakar food tour

What a fabulous tour! Everything we tried was delicious. I won't lie, I don't remember all the names of the food and drinks we tried, but it was all tasty. Don't eat before the tour, you will get more food than you can finish. Plus we went over to the island which was really cool and colorful. Overall excellent tour, don't hesitate. Book it!

Full Day Private Tour in Dakar: move, eat, act like a local

A Little Dakar Magic!

Time was rubbery on this colourful and arty zoom around Dakar. I asked respectfully to avoid as many shopping stops as possible, so we had more time at the artists workshop, the mosque, and the monuments. But the true highlights were the beachside foodstop - incredible local spicy fish dish - and an unexpected drop-in to a cliffside reggae bar to watch the sun go down. Magic. Zey was a great guide, full of knowledge and fun.

Discover Bandia Safari and the Pink Lake 2 Participants Minimum

Great day and personal guide, Malang.

We took a private excursion to the Bandia Safari and Pink Lake in Dakar, and it was a memorable day—especially from a cultural perspective. Our guide, Malang, was excellent from start to finish. He stayed attentive from the moment we booked, kept us informed throughout the experience, and made sure we were comfortable the entire time. Our driver also did a great job navigating Dakar’s traffic and road conditions. The Bandia Safari was a highlight. We enjoyed seeing giraffes, hippos, monkeys, zebras, birds, and several species of antelope up close in a beautiful natural setting. Pink Lake, however, was a bit disappointing; it didn’t resemble the vivid images often shown online. Still, the outing overall was worthwhile. Despite the mixed experience with Pink Lake, we had a good day and would absolutely recommend Malang as a guide.
