Description of this activity

Dive into the heart of the Bandia Reserve, one of Senegal’s most beautiful wildlife sanctuaries, for a true safari experience in the wild. Just a few kilometers from Saly, Ngaparou, and Mbour, this half-day excursion offers a unique immersion among iconic African savannah animals. Between dry landscapes, giant baobabs, thorny acacias, and diverse wildlife, it is an unmissable experience for all nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts.

The safari begins at the entrance of the reserve, which spans several hundred hectares of protected nature. From the very first moments, the typical Sahel landscapes open up around you: clearings dotted with rocks, wooded areas, grassy expanses, and dusty tracks where animals roam freely.

Along the way, you may observe tall giraffes, impressive rhinoceroses, massive buffaloes, zebras, antelopes, impalas, Cape elands, ostriches, and vervet monkeys. The diversity of species makes Bandia an ideal place to discover African wildlife in a natural setting without the need to travel long distances.

The reserve also hosts several bird species: hornbills, egrets, marabou storks, francolins… making it a perfect spot for birdwatching enthusiasts.

The visit takes place by vehicle, with several stops to observe animals, take photos, and enjoy the landscape.

The excursion is accessible to all levels: families, groups of friends, or travelers wishing to explore nature at a relaxed pace. A meal is included during the half-day, usually in a shaded area or a designated rest spot.
