The birdwatching and photography safari in the Bandia Reserve is an exceptional experience for anyone wishing to observe and capture the rich diversity of birds in Senegal in their natural habitat. Bandia is home to over 120 bird species, set against a savannah landscape dotted with baobabs and small streams, making it one of the country’s best birding spots, easily accessible from Dakar or Saly.
Accompanied by an experienced naturalist guide, the route winds through lagoons, wetlands, and dry clearings where pelicans, ibises, bee-eaters, grey herons, rollers, weavers, hornbills, and many other species are active. Photography enthusiasts will particularly enjoy the silent approach made possible by adapted vehicles, and the variety of observation points sometimes just a few meters from birds or ostrich nests—a magical moment to capture feeding scenes, flight, or courtship displays.
The morning or late afternoon light enhances this setting, allowing for stunning shots even for beginner photographers. Regular stops encourage patience and contemplation, giving time to spot species and capture interactions between wildlife and flora. The guide can lend binoculars and share tips for wildlife photography (settings, angles, stealth), and specialized reference books are often available at the reception to identify each species encountered.
This outing, suitable for all skill levels, combines education, relaxation, and wonder in the face of Bandia’s remarkable biodiversity.
