    Mr Lamp Fall (Mamadou Diagne) & his driver Doudou were both simply amazing guides. I felt very safe with them. The tour itself was fantastic - the itinerary was great! My only recommendation was to add Djouj Bird Sanctuary (which we did, per Mr Fall's recommendation & per my request as well), I realize that portion is seasonal. I also recommend making it very clear that the tour Starts in Dakar but ENDS in Saly- it was a little confusing because there was a discrepancy between what the itinerary said versus the actual VOUCHER. Also, a faster responsiveness from both Tour Radar and/or the tour operator would definitely make a positive difference! I also suggest adding on the "Things You Must Know list" = is to add that most places we went for shopping do NOT take credit cards so to bring lots of CASH (for shoppers) & small change as many merchants seemed to be short on change. Also to bring personal toilet paper as many public bathrooms do not have it. Otherwise, the tour overall was FANTASTIC & I highly recommend it!!

    This was a lovely trip, off the beaten track, seeing some of the highlights of Senegal. A really interesting eye opener as I really did not know what to expect. My tour guide and driver were really lovely and looked after me (I was the only person on the trip). I loved the variety in places I stayed from a standard hotel to desert tent to cute resort hut to a more refined beach resort. There are very long drives to get from one place to another so that is something you need to be prepared for, more time driving than at the sights, however I saw a lot of real life in several Senegalese towns from the car. The national dish of thieboudienne did not make its way on tourist restaurant menus, but after saying how much I wanted to try it, my tour driver took me to a place to try it on my final day...it was worth the wait :). This trip has a lot of spare time in the evenings so plenty of time to rest ahead of the next day. We usually set off soon after breakfast, between 8am and 9ish..so sociable times and on most days I was dropped off at my accommodation at around 5ish. So a big thank you to Dioudiou the driver and my tour guide Mr Jang (I think that was his name, we got introduced after I got off the plane and I didnt double check!) for their wonderful hospitality, it felt like having my own little family abroad.
