    This was straight up false advertisement. When we got here the lake was not pink at all very muddy. The only saving grace was other activities to do around here, but if you are coming to see pink lake, don't expect anything special (see photo below).

    Banal lake that is not worth a visit. Very poorly landscaped surroundings despite a real potential. Only way to save his passage on the spot, ancillary activities like quad biking. Go your way!

As one of Senegal wonder,this lake gets its pinkish coloration when the sun is straight, and at dusk we can see tints of purple or violet. The pink color of the lake is explained also by the presence of some algae in the water. Besides its strange color, the large salinity (380 g/liter) placed it second after the Dead Sea.You will visit the salt collectors and get on a pick up jeep for a short game drive on the sand dunes following the path of the Rally Paris-Dakar.Stop to visit a Fulani village and drive along the breathtaking beaches of the atlantic ocean back to Lac rose Restaurant for lunch.In the afternoon transfer by car or van to your location.
