A Diattacounda excursion takes you to Middle Casamance, around Goudomp, for two things: the village of Diattacounda and a camp with your feet in the water, on the riverbank. Three options, all priced per person: the village visit as a half day, and the camp as a half day or a full day.

Three options, two places

The visit to Diattacounda lasts a half day. The riverside camp is taken as a half day or a full day. So you choose according to the time you have, and according to whether you come for the village, for the water, or for both: the day at the camp leaves time to stay by the river rather than leaving straight away, while the half-day visit concentrates on the village and its people.

The price is per person in all three cases, which suits a solo traveller as well as a group of friends or a family: each person pays their share, whatever the size of the group.

Middle Casamance around Goudomp

The Casamance is another Senegal from the dry, hurried routes: green, humid and slow, woven from rice fields, gallery forests, bolongs winding between the mangroves, and villages. This outing is in Middle Casamance, around Goudomp, with Diattacounda as the village of the area. It is the Casamance of rivers and villages more than of beaches, and that is what gives the outing its interest: you come for the water, for the slow rhythm of the riverbank and for a village visit without crowds.

If you live in Senegal, it is an outing that slots into a stay in the Casamance, for those who already know the coast and want to see the interior; if you are visiting, a way to see the region away from the beaches of Lower Casamance. In both cases, the half day is a good format for a first approach, the day at the camp for those who like to take their time.

To extend your trip

The traditional sites and villages bring together other village visits, and pirogue rides let you see the river and its bolongs from the water. The guided cultural visits widen the choice with guided tours.
