How to book your activity in Senegal

You pay nothing until your date is confirmed. Then 20% online to secure your booking, and the rest on site, on the day. Simple for you, fair for the team welcoming you.

Choose your activity

Each listing tells you the essentials before you commit: how it runs, the duration, the meeting point, the price, and what is included and what is not. Check the official fees note: when a park or site charges an entry fee, it is shown separately and paid on site; otherwise, the listing states “no additional official fees”.

Look at the price unit too: most activities are priced per person, but some (a quad, a jet ski, a private pirogue, a transfer) are priced per craft, per boat or per vehicle. The listing makes this clear.

2📅

Send your request, without paying

Give your preferred date, the number of participants and anything that will help the team welcome you properly: children’s ages, level, language, any particular needs. Confirm your basket with your name, email address and WhatsApp number.

No payment is requested at this stage. Your basket is a booking request: the site’s calendar shows possible dates, not a guaranteed place.

You receive an email and a WhatsApp message acknowledging your request.

3✅

Your date is confirmed, or another is suggested

Your request is passed to the team running the activity. They confirm the date or suggest another slot (tides, weather, a schedule that is already full that day…). You are notified by WhatsApp and email, and you remain free to accept the new suggestion or not.

4💳

Pay 20% to secure your booking

As soon as the date is confirmed, you receive a secure payment link. You pay 20% of the activity price: this is the booking fee, and it confirms your reservation.

Payment methods: bank card, Wave, Orange Money.

Receive your final confirmation

Once the 20% is paid, you receive by email and WhatsApp:
– the contact details of the person welcoming you;
– the exact meeting point and time;
– a summary of your booking and practical instructions (what to wear, equipment, what to bring).

6🌴

On the day: enjoy yourself, then pay the balance

Arrive at the agreed time and place. If you are running late or something comes up, let your contact know directly on WhatsApp. The balance (80%) is paid on site, directly to the team welcoming you, in cash, by Wave, by Orange Money or by whatever method has been agreed. Any official fees (park entry, a regulated crossing) are payable on site and not included in the price.

7⭐

Leave a review

After the activity, a WhatsApp message invites you to rate the experience. Your reviews guide future travellers and residents, and help us improve the catalogue.

Resident in Senegal?

Create your resident account before booking: you get the resident rate: up to 30% off, depending on the activity. The exact rate is shown on each listing.

Visiting Senegal? Send your requests before you arrive for activities that depend on a date (boat trip, safari, workshop), and keep some cash or a mobile wallet for the balance paid on site.

What if you need to cancel or change your date?

Write to us as soon as possible by email or on WhatsApp on +221778875972. Any change of date depends on what the team welcoming you can offer. Refund conditions in the event of cancellation are set out on the Cancellation policy page. If the activity is cancelled on our side or by the team on the ground (weather, unforeseen circumstances), you are told immediately and you choose between another date, an equivalent activity or a full refund of the 20% paid to secure your booking.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to pay when I send my request?
No. Sending a request is free. You only pay the 20% to secure your booking once the date is confirmed.
What is the 20% paid online for?
It is the booking fee: it secures your booking with the team running the activity. The balance is paid on site, on the day.
Does the site’s calendar guarantee that the date is free?
No. The calendar dates are for guidance only: your date is only booked once it has been confirmed by the team running the activity and the 20% has been paid.
How will I know where to go?
After paying the 20%, you receive by email and WhatsApp the contact details of the person welcoming you, the exact meeting point, the time and practical instructions.
Are park entry fees included in the price?
No. Official fees are flagged on the listing, payable on site and not included in the price of the activity. When there are none, the listing states “no additional official fees”.
How do I pay the balance?
Directly to the team welcoming you, on the day of the activity: in cash, by Wave, by Orange Money or by whatever method you have agreed with them.
