Bandia safari & Somone Lagoon – full nature day

Combine a morning safari in Bandia Reserve with a peaceful discovery of Somone Lagoon during one organized excursion from Dakar. The itinerary connects Bandia’s protected savannah with Somone’s mangroves and calm lagoon waters, using coordinated transport so travellers can enjoy two complementary natural sites without arranging each stage separately.

At Bandia, the visit takes place in a 4x4 vehicle with a guide. Giraffes, zebras, rhinoceroses, antelopes, monkeys and birds may be seen according to their natural movement. The lion safari is available as an optional activity and must be confirmed before departure. The route then continues to Somone for lunch and a traditional pirogue ride on the lagoon, subject to weather and navigation conditions.

The fixed price of 54,000 XOF per person applies to the flexible date selected: round-trip transport, reserve admission, 4x4 hire, guided visit, lunch and pirogue ride. This day suits couples, families, friends and small groups looking for a varied nature experience close to Dakar.
