Description of this activity

Embark on an adventure along unique horseback trails, in the heart of the Sine Saloum delta, between mangroves, bolongs, and vast sandy expanses. Upon arrival at the equestrian farm, the Senegalese guides—experts in local traditions and the region’s exceptional wildlife—will introduce you to a preserved area, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

In a small group, ride across the tans—long sandbanks perfect for galloping—pass through rice fields, and follow deserted beaches where nature bursts with colors, and migratory birds soar overhead. As you progress along the trail, you’ll cross Serer and Fulani villages, interact with the locals, and enjoy a deep immersion into Senegalese culture.

The ride is enriched with magical stops: swimming with the horses, picnics under palm trees, canoe rides through the bolongs, and discovering traditional markets. Nights spent camping or in eco-lodges by the water extend the African dream, where hospitality and authenticity blend with freedom and adventure on horseback.

Whether you are a nature lover, an avid birdwatcher, or an experienced rider, the Sine Saloum offers a rare, timeless experience, allowing you to feel the true soul of Senegal.
