Summary:
Family holidays in Senegal (10 people including 4 children)
We visited the reserve thanks to Mamadou who organized a tailor-made tour according to what we wanted to do: Bandia reserve and lions in a cage car; visit a typical village and a school with the children; visit the island of gorée and canoe ride.
Mamadou explained to us with all the passion he has for his country ☺️, very involved and do everything to ensure that we are well in our visits! You can contact him on Whatsapp at +221 776149063
The visit to the reserve was really great, we had a guide who explained all the animals and we saw almost all of them! A happiness for adults and children 😃

Summary:
This an excellent day excursion from Dakar. It's well organized, the guides really know their animals and they keep you informed. The ride lasts for a couple of hours, there's some shade from the roof cover but arms and legs might need some sunblock. You'll need water. The ride is bumpy but not rough and the seats are comfortable enough. The animal encounters are really excellent, especially for a first time. We saw giraffe, Zebra, hippos, ostriches, antelope and more. Great photo opportunities. There's a decent snack bar at the end near the croc pool but you'll need to keep the monkeys off your snacks! There's a bathroom stop before after.
