Description of this activity

Rose Lake, known for its shifting colors and desert-like scenery, is also the starting point of a legendary excursion: the quad ride through dunes and ocean.

Over the course of a full day, this adventure combines adrenaline, breathtaking landscapes, and an authentic glimpse into rural Senegalese life.

After a technical briefing, the guide leads you along the tracks of the former Paris-Dakar rally, still used today by off-road driving enthusiasts.

You’ll cross shifting sand dunes, ride along the wild Atlantic beaches, and cut through Peul villages and the arid bush.

The route alternates between speeding on hard-packed sand, light dune crossings, and scenic pauses, offering a perfect balance between sport and sightseeing.

A local lunch is planned midway through the day, often in a beachside lodge or camp.

In the afternoon, the return follows a different route, allowing you to enjoy Lake Retba, its salt collectors, and the exceptional color contrasts under the setting sun.

This complete and intense adventure is perfect for those seeking the freedom of the desert while discovering the iconic landscapes of the Petite Côte.
