Lompoul - A once in a lifetime experience! Imagine spending the night in a West African desert! I can't believe I actually rode a camel in Africa!

Trustworthy, pleasant, and prompt - We had a beautiful itinerary planned but unfortunately we had to cancel. It was still in the window that cancelation was allowed and they refunded our deposit in full very promptly, and were a pleasure to deal with in general. We didn't actually take a tour with them yet, but hope to soon.

A total disappointment. Don’t book this - There was no stop in Thies to visit the decorative arts or basket ware stalls. The driver and guide did not know where we were staying and had to make phone calls to find out. The company did not give us that information.
The camp had no record of our booking and had to make several calls to establish that we were supposed to be there.
The place was tatty and run down. The seating for meals was very uncomfortable. The bedding in the tent was poor quality and not clean. Moisture ran down the inside overnight and soaked some our belongings.
We booked the alternative to a camel ride which was a buggy ride. We waited 45 minutes then had to ask, and were told the buggy had broken down. Meanwhile the camel rides lasted only about 5 minutes. Consequently we didn’t see much of the dunes. There was no view of the sunset from the camp.
All I can say in favour is the fact that the food was fine.
Overall this was a very poor experience. We complained and have been offered a paltry amount in “compensation”.

Left me stranded - I started planning a trip with this company since June 2021.
We communicated August 2, 2022 about the trip.
He left me stranded in Dakar after he promised a Dakar City tour and a Fathala Lion Tour.
I don't know if his vehicle isn't working or what. I traveled solo from Texas and now have to scramble to find a replacement. HE IS A BIG LIAR. If you want your vacation ruined, trust him.
