OVERVIEW

Drive off-road through the sand dunes surrounding Lake Retba in a 4x4 vehicle and feast on traditional Senegalese dishes at a nearby village. As you race over the desolate, rather remote terrain where the grueling Paris-Dakar car rally once ended, the ride will be exhilarating. You can expect it to be bump, unpredictable and nonstop fun. The lake is less than a mile from the Atlantic Ocean and salt was harvested there for years until precedented flooding changed the color and composition of the water. Enjoy a lunch with Senegalese traditional dishes at Keur Salim lodge then get a glimpse into the lifestyle of the traditional Wolof village of Noflaye.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Race through the sand dunes that surround Lake Retba in a 4x4 vehicle.
• See how heavy flooding changed the lake’s color, salinity and economic impact.
• Dine at a restaurant overlooking the lake and attend a traditional feast in Noflaye village.
