Description of this activity

A few kilometers from Lake Rose, set out to explore the bush and immerse yourself in the life of a Serer or Peul village. This half-day excursion allows you to leave the dunes and shores of the lake to reach the hinterland, where nature, traditions, and community organization shape an authentic daily life. It is an ideal immersion to understand rural Senegal, between agriculture, livestock, sharing, and ancestral ways of life.

From Lake Rose, the journey quickly leads to the Sahelian tracks that cross the bush. The landscapes alternate between sandy areas, isolated trees, small hamlets, and agricultural spaces. Arrival in the village reveals a peaceful world, where life follows a rhythm close to nature: caring for animals, preparing meals, tending crops, or chatting in the shade of a large tree.

In Serer villages, agriculture is central, with traditional crops such as millet, peanuts, and seasonal vegetables. Peul villages, on the other hand, reflect a lifestyle centered on livestock, herd management, and strong seasonal mobility.

The visit allows you to observe the layout of the compounds, areas reserved for animals, workspaces, and sometimes daily activities. The half-day includes a local meal, shared in a simple and convivial atmosphere.

Accessible to everyone, the excursion includes short walks on easy paths. It is recommended to wear suitable shoes and bring water, as the climate can be hot depending on the season.
