The djembe and lobster evening at Pointe Sarène is an evening in the bush on the Petite Côte, lasting about 3 to 4 hours, set to djembe drumming and built around a spiny lobster meal. Departures run from 2 people, with pick-up possible from Saly or Pointe Sarène.

An evening of music and lobster

The package rests on three elements: an evening in the bush, djembe drumming and a meal in which spiny lobster is the star dish. It lasts about 3 to 4 hours, enough time for the music and the meal without dragging the evening out. The lobster gives the evening its name, and the djembe drumming is its music. The price is a flat rate for the group, and departures run from 2 people. Only drinks are not included.

Pick-up can be arranged from Pointe Sarène, from Saly or from a hotel in that area, with no change in price. Cancellation is free up to 72 hours before; after that, the amount paid is not refunded.

Pointe Sarène, the Petite Côte before Saly

Pointe Sarène recalls the Petite Côte as it was before Saly: a spit of sand stretching out of sight, pirogues pulled up on the beach, a few filao trees for shade. While Saly lines up its resort hotels, this is a corner that has stayed quiet, and it is that calm that gives an evening in the bush its meaning. If you live in Dakar, the package adds to a weekend by the sea, with an evening that is nothing like a hotel dinner. If you are visiting the Petite Côte, it offers a different evening from the resort’s, and the hotel pick-up saves you from looking for your way in the dark.

Extending the evening and the stay

To better understand what you hear in the evening, a percussion workshop lets you try the djembe by day. In the same vein, other evenings and gastronomy experiences exist on the coast, and the day can begin at the Somone lagoon or the Popenguine reserve.
