Bandia Reserve day trip – guided 4x4 safari and lions

Leave Dakar for a full safari day at Bandia Reserve, one of the most accessible nature destinations on Senegal’s Petite Côte. Round-trip transport is provided in a comfortable air-conditioned minibus, followed by a visit in a 4x4 vehicle suited to the reserve tracks. A professional guide accompanies the route and explains the wildlife, savannah landscapes and conservation work carried out on site.

Depending on the animals’ natural movements, the excursion may encounter giraffes, zebras, rhinoceroses, antelopes, monkeys, ostriches and several bird species. Wildlife moves freely, so no specific sighting can be guaranteed; this is part of a respectful nature experience. The advertised programme also includes access to the lion experience, subject to the operating and safety rules communicated by the reserve.

This full-day excursion suits couples, families, friends, groups and schools. It includes transport, reserve admission, 4x4 hire and a guided visit. The displayed price is 70,000 XOF per person. The departure time, meeting point and final operating conditions are confirmed before booking.
