A two-day trip from Dakar combining Lake Retba quad and boat rides with a camel ride, dinner, campfire, tent overnight at Hôtel Okaï and breakfast near Lompoul.
No-obligation request · clear confirmation before departure
Leave Dakar for a two-day, one-night journey linking two distinctive landscapes in Senegal: Lake Retba, widely known as Lac Rose or Pink Lake, and the dunes in the Lompoul area. This short circuit combines outdoor activities, time by the lake and a tent overnight stay at Hôtel Okaï. Round-trip transport from Dakar in an air-conditioned vehicle and local trip organisation are included, so you can enjoy both stops without arranging separate transfers.
The first part of the trip takes place at Lake Retba near Dakar. Enjoy a quad ride, with two people sharing a vehicle when travelling together, and see the lake from a different perspective on a traditional boat ride. Local activity providers explain the route, timing and safety rules before departure. Lake Retba’s appearance and colour vary naturally with the season, weather and water conditions; no specific shade of pink can be guaranteed. The transfer from the lake to Lompoul is planned for approximately 11:00 on the first day.
In the Lompoul area, the scenery changes to sandy dunes. A camel ride introduces this desert setting before you settle in for a tent overnight stay at Hôtel Okaï. Dinner at the hotel and a sociable campfire complete the evening. The campfire depends on weather and site safety requirements; if it cannot be held, the team will confirm the evening arrangements before the trip. Breakfast is included the following morning. Departure from Lompoul for the return journey is planned for approximately 12:00 on day two. This is the departure time from Lompoul, not the arrival time in Dakar; arrival follows the road and traffic conditions.
The Lake Retba–Lompoul package is suitable for travellers looking for an easy way to experience both the lakeside and dunes on a short Senegal itinerary. Booking is available from one traveller at the stated per-person rate. The Dakar pick-up point and time, tent configuration, exact activity order and final schedule are confirmed before departure according to hotel and provider availability. All activities follow local safety instructions and natural site conditions.
Two-day, one-night package priced at 95,000 FCFA per person, bookable from one traveller. The selected date remains subject to Hôtel Okaï and activity availability. Pick-up is in Dakar; the precise place and time are confirmed before departure. The Lake Retba to Lompoul transfer is planned for around 11:00 on day one. The return begins with departure from Lompoul around 12:00 the next day; arrival in Dakar is later and depends on traffic. Two people share one quad when numbers allow; a solo traveller receives a place according to the activity provider’s arrangements. Tent configuration is confirmed before final booking. The campfire depends on weather and site safety rules. A particular pink colour of the lake is not guaranteed. Services follow local conditions and partner safety instructions.
95,000 FCFA per person from one traveller, with the listed services included.
