Travel
A rich experience
Our themed tours offer just that: an authentic taste of Senegal, a country where the sun shines all year round and whose people consider it an honour to take you in their arms. Starting out in
Dakar – traditionally, the beating heart of French West Africa – you’ll haggle with traders in bustling markets, sample the delights of the local cuisine, try your hand at African drumming, spend blissful hours by the sea, get fit in daily bootcamps, delve into the world of Senegalese music and enjoy the natural splendour of the country’s rivers, forests and beaches. But we won’t shield you from the other realities of the region: you’ll see for yourself the incongruously picturesque remnants of the slave trade, be sensitised to social issues, and start to understand the economics of the current migration crisis.

Get to know the real Africa
You don’t need to worry about food and accommodation – just get on a plane and we’ll do the rest. You’ll stay in characterful hotels frequented by locals, worlds away from the uniformity of air-conditioned business travel. And you’ll sample proper African cooking at eateries popular with the locals.
Armed with their encyclopaedic knowledge, our guides have plenty to talk to you about, sparking your imagination, giving you often surprising insights that will make you see your own way of life in a completely different light. More than that, our guides love engaging in dialogue, answering any questions you might have about this vibrant region and its unique way of life.
