This centuries-old house served as a processing center for African slaves.
Reviewed By HappyGourmande - West Kelowna, Canada
We had a local fellow named Ali who was magnificent, taking us through and giving us information on each room and how the slaves would arrive and be treated throughout their time here. You don’t want to miss understanding the impact of this place in history. If you really want to understand the impact of the place, make sure you have a guided tour.

Have you ever wanted to see sand dunes and have a night out in the dessert-like experience but can't go all the way to the Sahara? Well, this is a great chance to experience it. The Ecolodge camp has very cool tents, free boards for sand-surfing, a live drum band playing at night. I also recommend you take the 15 minute camel ride offered throughout the day; it's only 2500 CFA (about $5).

Reviewed By SimonettaP61 - Ivrea, Italy
Everybody visiting Dakar goes there, and for a reason! Better going in dry season, I was lucky enough to be there on a day in which the colour was particularly strong. The contrast with the white of the salt piles, makes the scene even more surreal. Drawback: the car hadn't stopped yet, when 3 men called from outside suggesting different, expensive, ways of having a tour. A walk was my choice, nonetheless I couldn't walk alone, a man came with me, said I could go on my own, and of course asked me for money at the end.
