A. There is very little crime against tourists in Senegal but as with any foreign destination, we advise you to exercise caution and not show off valuables or large amounts of cash when out and about, particularly in crowded areas.

A. Saly has glorious white, sandy beaches – why else would the French call it Senegal’s Côte d’Azur?  Set in a bay, the waters are calm and clear, perfect for swimming and water sports. In the Sine Saloum Delta, most of the hotels are set on rivers although there are still small sandy, beaches at frequent intervals. Caution should be taken though when swimming in any deep water, as there can be strong currents.

A. There can be problems with electricity, however hotels have their own back up generators. Any slight disruption in supply may affect the efficiency of air-conditioning and supply of hot water. The current is 220V and round 2 pin adaptors are needed.

A. Most UK mobile phones do work, however it is best to check with your provider before you travel. You can also buy a prepaid SIM card for your phone in Senegal and will be given a local mobile number.

A. We offer a full excursion programme to enable guests to explore the area around the resorts. Trips include: Île de Gorée, from where slaves were transported to the New World and Le Lac Rose, also known as the Pink Lake or Lac Retba, which is the final destination of the Paris-Dakar Rally and gets its name from the way the lake shimmers in shades of pink due to the water’s high mineral content.

A. In Senegal we work with a local handling agent, who arrange our transfers from Dakar International Airport to our hotels. (If you are travelling from The Gambia, our resort office in Banjul will arrange your transfers). An agent representative will also visit the hotels in Saly regularly but there are no visits in the hotels in the Sine Saloum Delta, however in these smaller hotels you will be well looked after by the hotel staff who will be happy to answer any queries and arrange excursions for you.

A. Excellent. Most of the hotels are French owned and / or employ French chefs, so food is of a particularly high standard, with a variety of international and also local dishes on offer making the most of fresh seafood and local produce.

A. Senegal has no migrating wildebeest, giraffes or any of the large animals commonly associated with Africa, however in Saly you can visit the Bandia Nature Reserve where you can see up close and roaming freely giraffes, rhino, zebra, ostrich, antelopes, buffalo bush pigs, impala etc. In the Sine Saloum Delta you can also see a breathtaking variety of birdlife, in addition to monkeys, baboons, hyenas, lizards, dolphins and manatees.
