Overview
Let’s settle the heavily disputed jollof war between West Africans as we will be tasting Senegalese (and/or Gambian) jollof rice
Located on the most western point of Africa with its diverse culture, rich history, delicious food and welcoming locals, Senegal is the ideal destination for a West African escape. We begin in Senegal’s colourful and lively capital, Dakar, where we will walk the narrow streets of ancient colonial towns, discover the vibrant markets, beaches, and nightlife. We will visit Gorée Island- once the largest hub of the transatlantic slave trade on the African Coast, and other significant historic sites.
To make the most of your experience, we have combined an Africa 2-in-one package. You can opt to join us at the beautiful Gambia for a bliss 3 night getaway. Picture yourself on uncrowded golden sandy beaches with a palm tree lined backdrop.
