Embark on an early morning journey to the tranquil Gorée Island. After a 2-hour drive from Pointe Sarène, you'll reach the harbour, where a ferry awaits to transport you to the island. The island is a haven of peace and tranquillity, with narrow, serene lanes and red ochre houses adorned with bougainvilleas adding to its undeniable charm. Recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Gorée Island serves as a poignant reminder of history, having seen millions of people pass through before being taken to America as enslaved people.
Your visit will include a tour of former slave houses, St Charles' church, and the historical museum. You'll also have the opportunity to stroll down the alleyways and explore local painters' workshops. Enjoy lunch at a charming restaurant on the island before returning to Dakar in the early afternoon.
In Dakar, the heart of western Africa's political, economic and cultural reunification, you'll embark on a city tour. This includes a visit to the bustling "plateau" district, where you'll see key landmarks such as the railway station, city hall, Independence Square, and the Presidential Palace. This journey offers a blend of serene beauty and rich history, making it an unforgettable experience.
