Description of this activity

Embark on an unforgettable adventure along unique horseback riding trails in the heart of the Sine Saloum delta, between mangroves, bolongs (tidal rivers), and vast sandy expanses. Upon your arrival at the equestrian farm, the Senegalese guides, experts in local traditions and exceptional wildlife, will introduce you to a pristine region listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

In small groups, ride across the “tans”—long sandbars perfect for great gallops, traverse rice fields, and follow deserted beaches, where nature bursts with color, and migratory birds fly overhead. As you progress through the journey, you’ll pass through Serer and Fulani villages, interact with locals, and experience a deep immersion in Senegalese culture.

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

Whether you’re a nature lover, an ornithology enthusiast, or an experienced rider, the Sine Saloum offers a rare, timeless experience that lets you feel the deep soul of Senegal.
