The Delta of Sine Saloum, 60 maritime miles from Dakar, exhibits 73000 hectares where the land of Saloum and the Atlantic fuse together.
Navigation takes place in the Delta of Saloum’s national park, with its listed trees, its hundreds of islands caught up in the maze of the inlets. You’ll navigate in an aviary where you’ll catch sight of pelicans, cormorants, fishing eagles, egrets, herons, pink flamingos, parrots, parakeets etc.
A village of fishermen leaving their fish to smoke, where others come to pick up palm wine.
Each island offers its own unique performance and typical landscape: beaches void of tourists, mangrove swamps where you can find oysters or cockles, a sub-Saharan bush where you can catch a glimpse of monkeys swinging from the branches of a baobab or jackals escaping into the mangroves.
