Lush landscapes, traditional villages and heavenly beaches. Casamance, the southernmost tip of Senegal, is the ideal destination for combining tranquil beach holidays and exciting excursions in a wild and secluded environment. A tropical paradise for those who wish to approach the magic and charms of Black Africa without filters.
A tour that starts from the highlights of classic Senegal: Gorée, Lake Rosa, Lompoul, Saint Louis, Touba and Siné-Saloum, to reach the country’s greenest and most unspoilt area, Casamance, a long strip of land squeezed between Gambia and the forests of Guinea Bissau, the rushing waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the scorching savannahs of the Sahel. A natural sanctuary of extraordinary beauty amidst villages that are small traditional monarchies with kings and notables, mangrove canyons and labyrinths of rivers and still waters around which palm trees and thatched-roof huts peep. Here it is possible to immerse oneself in the life of the Diola, a people who have jealously preserved the customs and traditions of the animist tradition, proudly rejecting all attempts at Islamisation, remaining faithful to the spirits of the forest.
