Description of this activity

Experience a unique moment at the famous Lac Rose (Retba), riding horseback along the endless beach of the Grande Côte, the golden dunes, and the small Fulani villages. The horses, sturdy and accustomed to the sandy terrain, will take you through a landscape that is both wild and enchanting, between forests of casuarina trees and vegetable fields hidden in the hollows of the dunes.
Depending on your level, choose a gentle ride around the lake or, for the more experienced, embark on an exhilarating gallop at low tide, riding along the waves on the wet sand. After the ride, the stable team invites you to share special moments with the horses: grooming, group showers, and rolling in the sand.
This adventure is for everyone, young and old, for an hour, half a day, or even several days with on-site accommodation. At Lac Rose, every moment spent on horseback is a total immersion in the beauty and culture of authentic Senegal.
