Pirogue tours in
Sine Saloum & Casamance
Salam Aleikoum – or better yet, Salam Saloum!
​
Long-time friends, each experienced in our own craft, we decided to bring our skills together to offer truly unique excursions across Senegal — through the Sine Saloum Delta and Casamance.
Guides, drummers, singers, dancers, cooks, a boat captain, a photographer… A crew united by many talents and a shared spirit.
​
Climb aboard our pirogue and set off on a beautiful journey.
A HAPPY trip
Departing from our village of Ndangane, our joy for life will accompany you as we explore the many islands that make up the Sine Saloum. You can enjoy a one-day experience with a gentle pirogue ride, or set off on a multi-day bivouac adventure — singing, dancing, and sharing stories around a campfire.
From Dakar airport, set out to discover the magnificent Casamance and its rich traditions. We offer programmes that blend culture and adventure, starting from two days, giving you the freedom to explore this stunning region at your own pace.
A NATURAL trip
​
The Saloum Delta National Park and the Casamance region are home to rich and diverse wildlife and plant life. You may spot countless bird species, including the impressive Goliath heron, swim and hike through the mangroves, follow the tracks of jackals and crocodiles, explore forests of towering kapok trees — and for the luckiest among you, even swim with dolphins.
A CULTURAL trip
On foot, by pirogue, horse-drawn cart or bicycle, you’ll discover traditional villages of the region, immersed in local customs and ways of life.
You’ll observe fishermen, rice farmers, and oyster gatherers working in the heart of the mangroves; meet skilled pirogue craftsmen; and enjoy traditional Senegalese dishes lovingly prepared by our passionate chef.
A MUSICAL trip
Throughout the excursion, our artists and their trusty djembés will tirelessly bring your days to life.
They’ll share their art with you as much as possible — and you’ll also learn traditional Senegalese songs along the way.
​
Senegal is a land of contrasts and encounters, where each region reveals a different facet of the country.
From the beaches of the Petite Côte to the waterways of the Sine Saloum, from the northern dunes to the lush forests of Casamance, it offers a rich variety of landscapes, cultures, and atmospheres.
It is also a country deeply rooted in tradition, where oral heritage, music, beliefs, and craft skills are passed down from generation to generation. The rhythm of the sabar drums, the stories of the griots, and animist or Sufi ceremonies are an integral part of daily life for many communities.
But above all, what truly stands out is the welcome. Wherever you go, you’ll be invited to share a cup of tea, a meal, or a conversation. The warmth, generosity, and humour of the Senegalese people make every encounter sincere and unforgettable.
This is Teranga.
We offer a range of excursions to discover the Sine Saloum and Casamance regions — blending cultural immersion, nature and adventure, all to the rhythm of our musicians and percussionists.
