Bandia Park - Somone Delta Tour

Bandia Park – Somone delta

Departure for a half day Safari in Bandia Park, and spent 03 hours driving through a forest of baoab trees and accacias.

The Bandia wildlife reserve is a real ecological jewel Senegal. It has succeeded in reintroducing much of the marvellous native flora and of some of Africa’s best loved animals.

Many of which had gradually disappeared, some of them centuries ago, due to demographic pressure and poaching.

We willl see mostly herbivorious wild animals as buffalos, antelopes, impalas gazelles, elans, kudu, giraffes, monkeys, zebras, rhinoceros…

A family of hyenas are living inside a closed enclosure in this park

In this game drive, we can note, some birds species as small hornbills, eagles, vultures, kinfishers, grey herons…

Let us visit a special baobab tree for an archeological course, the tomb of the griots.

Griots were casted peoples; story tellers, drummers, singers and were often buried inside the hollow of the baobabs. With our local guide from the Park we will know more about those tribes.

We will stop at the artificial river, just aside to pet or swim with the crocodiles.

Once out from this park, we will drive toward the seaside resort for a break in a restaurant

Lunch will be planned facing the Atlantic, followed by nautical activities before continuing to the delta further north in the afternoon

The Somone river delta is an exceptional environment which blossoms with the tides over 7,000 ha, between mangrove forests and sandbanks.

There are mainly many shore birds: flamingos, pelicans, herons, egrets, cormorants...

Located aside from the Atlantic Ocean, the Delta is made by, islets, marshy areas, birds’ houses, and shell islands…

We will embark into some catamarans, then sail inside a forest of mangroves trees to discover the aquatic fauna and flora

Relaxing on the white sand beach or just swimming in the blue waters, before taking the way back to the hotel.
