The word “Teranga” wolof can be translated as “hospitality”. In reality, it means much more: a warm welcome, sincere smiles towards the visitor and pleasure in taking care of the guest.

A 16-day tour to browse the most beautiful pages of Senegalese reality, experience the attention and courtesy of the local people and fully enjoy the generous nature of this rich and varied, between the suggestion of ancient traditions that are renewed daily in the villages and the modernity of lively cities in full swing. All the best of Senegal: the ancient slave house of the Island of Gorée, the colonial town of Saint Louis, the Djoudi bird park, a birdwatching paradise, a safari to Niokolo Koba, the animist traditions of the Bedik and Bassari, and the unspoiled nature of Casamance and Sinè-Saloum.
