Bandia Reserve and Lac Rose Private Trip

If you're torn between experiencing a safari in the Bandia Reserve or relaxing by the lovely waters of Lac Rose, consider the opportunity to enjoy both with our thorough excursion departing from Dakar.

Details of the Private Excursion

Your journey begins with a convenient pickup from your accommodation in Dakar at the appointed hour, after which we'll make our way to the first destination: Bandia Nature Reserve. Here, you'll be immersed in a stunning wilderness featuring a magnificent forest of baobab trees, emblematic of the African savanna.

Upon arrival in Bandia, we’ll disembark the bus and ascend into an off-road vehicle to kick off an authentic adventure within this vast nature reserve. For anyone who has ever dreamed of experiencing an African safari, this is your moment. Expect to encounter zebras, rhinos, giraffes, monkeys, buffalo, and ostriches roaming freely in their natural environment.

Following an exhilarating tour of the reserve, our journey will take us to Lac Rose, renowned as the concluding point of the Paris-Dakar Rally until 2008. Once we arrive, you'll enjoy some free time for lunch before we embark on an exciting 4x4 tour around this breathtaking lake, whose pink-hued waters are separated from the ocean by a line of sand dunes.

While there, you'll have the chance to observe local residents harvesting salt from the lake using age-old methods. If time permits, a refreshing 15-minute swim in the beautiful rose-tinted waters can also be an option. After completing the ATV adventure, we’ll return to the bus and head back to Dakar, concluding the activity approximately 9 to 10 hours after departure.
