Dakar City tour

It is not easy to really experience DAKAR on your own. If you take a standard city tour of Dakar, you will for sure, see a lot but in all probability, the DAKAR experience will escape you without the expertise of a knowledgeable Tour Guide to show you the not-so-well-known spots.
This 4-hour tour, will take you to the highlights of Dakar and give you plenty of time to explore them.
As we take you on the City tour, our time is devoted entirely to your questions and area of interest. By the same token, we will be keeping you informed as we share our knowledge of the City while offering a historical glimpse that most Locals are unaware of. We will show you the City of Dakar surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean with a blend of historical and religious buildings including 

-The Independence Square,

-The largest museum of Black civilization

Goree island tour

For those interested in the History of Slave Trading, this tour is a wonderful option. It helps you understand the History behind the Slave Trade from an African perspective but also, beyond the books as well.
GOREE is a valuable place to understand History because it tells the story of millions of Africans whose lives were traumatized and disrupted. It also tells the atrocities that African Slaves went through for over 350 years. They were kept here until they were shipped across the Atlantic Ocean to South America, North America, the Caribbean to create the New World. The island is an exceptional testimony to one of the greatest tragedies in the History of human societies. The highlight of your visit to GOREE is the Slave House. A visit to the Door-Of-No-Return in the infamous Slave House will give you a vision of African Slaves being led onto the ships, yelling and crying for mercy.
You cannot visit GOREE island and take a single step in the streets of GOREE without being reminded of the abominable African Slave Trade.

Pink Lake trip

A 1- hour drive from downtown Dakar, takes us to the Senegalese version of the Dead Sea. If you want to get away from the city for a bit, Pink Lake would be a good option. Within years, the Pink Lake has been one of the most visited places in the country thanks to its color but also thanks to the organizers of the Paris to Dakar Rally. 
The Pink lake is one of the most beautiful natural phenomena and I aim for you to experience it in full. I am adding to your experience the great view of rural life. However, you probably ask yourself, why PINK in the name of this lake?

Well, come and see it yourself and I will share with you how algae contribute to it.
It's well worth a visit. Very interesting to see men harvesting the salt. Enjoy huge salt piles.
A 4 Wheel Drive through the sand-dunes and along the Ocean gives a unique experience.
I look forward to showing you how the lake has a tremendous impact on the lives of the local population.
