Ziguinchor by 4×4 is a day to feel the south of Senegal from the capital of Casamance: colourful markets, architecture, riverbanks and surrounding villages. A tourist guide goes with the group, at a group rate, from 2 people.

A day of town and villages

The starting point is Ziguinchor, the capital of Casamance, and the route takes in its markets, its architecture, the bank of the Casamance River and the villages nearby. There is a single option, the day, priced per group. The price falls with the size of the group; the service starts at 2 people and, above 12, please contact us.

The guide is a licensed tourist guide with a professional card, who presents the culture and riches of the Kassanke people. Outings are planned according to the wishes of the clients and the guide’s advice: so you can ask for more market, more river or more village. Depending on the option, the route may include bush tracks, villages, rice fields, forests, mangrove areas and viewpoints.

Bring comfortable clothes, closed shoes, a cap, water and sun cream. Some tracks are harder to reach when it rains, and the route is then adapted.

It is a good format if you live here and want to show the town to relatives from elsewhere, and if you are visiting and arrive in Ziguinchor wanting a first day to get your bearings.

Ziguinchor, the end of Senegal

Ziguinchor is the end of Senegal, or nearly: a regional capital tucked beneath the Gambia, closer to Bissau than to Dakar. You reach it after a night on the boat or about three quarters of an hour by plane. The Casamance around it is green, humid and slow, made of rice fields, bolongs (tidal creeks) and villages, and that is what the day by 4×4 lets you link together.

Complete the day

To go further, the village of Énampore shows Jola architecture, the island of Carabane is reached by water, and the region’s traditional sites and villages offer other stops. For your arrival, the Cap Skirring and Ziguinchor airport page helps you organise the transfer.
