Set off to discover the Lompoul Desert, one of Senegal’s most spectacular landscapes, located between Dakar and Saint-Louis. This one-night bivouac offers an unforgettable experience in the heart of the orange dunes, where silence, vastness, and the softness of the sand create a unique atmosphere. Between hiking in the dunes, landscapes that change throughout the day, a starry sky, and moments of relaxation, this getaway is a total immersion in a desert environment of rare beauty.
The adventure begins with a journey through Sahelian areas before reaching the first dunes that mark the entrance to the desert. Once there, the bivouac offers a traditional setting that combines simple comfort and authenticity. You discover the world of dunes, sculpted by the wind and transformed by the light: the golden yellow of the morning, the deep orange of sunset, and the deep blue of night.
In the afternoon, a walk through the dunes allows you to explore this magical landscape. Depending on the group’s preferences and the weather, it is possible to observe the color variations of the sand, admire the infinite horizon, or enjoy an unforgettable photo session. The absolute calm of the desert and the pure air offer a feeling of total disconnection, ideal for a timeless escape.
In the evening, a typical meal is shared in a friendly atmosphere, before giving way to one of the highlights of the experience: stargazing. Far from city lights, the desert reveals an exceptionally clear night sky. The night is spent in traditional tents or desert-adapted accommodations, in a peaceful and soothing environment.
The next morning, the early light offers a new vision of the dunes and allows for a final walk before returning. Depending on the chosen option, the day may continue with additional exploration of the dunes, a moment of relaxation at the camp, or typical desert activities.
This bivouac is suitable for all levels. Plan to bring light clothing for the day, a sweater for the night (temperatures can drop), water, and comfortable shoes for walking in the sand. The experience remains accessible to everyone, including travelers who simply want to enjoy the scenery without strenuous physical effort.
