Wildlife Safari at Bandia Nature Reserve

Starting from Dakar, you'll be taken by private transfer to the spectacular Bandia Nature Reserve. Once there, you'll meet your local guide and enjoy a two-hour mini safari. 

As you explore the 8,600 acres, you’ll have the opportunity to spot iconic African animals like giraffes, antelopes, rhinos, gazelles, jackals and ostriches as they wander the reserve freely. Bandia also has an array of birdlife - look out for some of the 120 species that call the reserve home.  

After your open vehicle tour, you’ll take a stroll to the crocodile pool and the park’s tortoise sanctuary, and you’ll enjoy a cold drink and snack by a waterhole, where buffalo, crocodiles and monkeys quench their thirst. You’ll then transfer back to Dakar where your tour comes to an end. 

Please note: This excursion is weather dependent.
