Recommended! - Highly recommended! The guide was great (also speaks good English). Picked us up from the hotel (on time) and brought us to the park. Been there about 2 hours and then brought back to the hotel. Nice to see the animals and receive all the extra history from the guide about Senegal. I have no - points to this experience! Thank you so much, was definitely worth the money!!

Had a Great Experience - My family had a great experience on this tour. The guide was very easily found. We left in a timely manner. We had plenty of time to enjoy all the animals inside the Reserve. The included lunch was delicious and very filling. I recommend taking this tour.

The best activity to do in Senegal! - The safari exceeded our expectations. The drivers picked us up from our guesthouse perfectly on time and we headed off to Bandia. During the drive we were told interesting facts in perfect English about Senegal, stuff that just doesnt come up in Wikipedia articles. At Bandia we drove around for maybe 2 hours and saw an abundance of different animals, including a rhino and buffalos from the Big Five, plus tens of other breeds. Pretty much up to par with a safari we did in Tanzania, although shorter and cheaper.

Excellent experience - Excellent experience- one of the highlights of our trip, would highly recommend this tour. Pick up from the ship, we located them by the local stallholders, no names being held up for us to locate them. We had an hour wait at the reserve due to the reserve tickets not being purchased prior to our arrival. They got us back to the ship in good time

Very good - Very nice tour with knowledgeable guides. Yhe park was very interesting and worth the trip. Lunch was on the weak side but tasty. Sand dunes reds and along the beach was fun and the salt making was. Nice.

Highest recommendation!!! - Our guide and driver were AMAZING! The excursion exceeded our expectations. Not only did we get what was advertised, we got a knowledgeable expert and an overall joyful experience.

Top guide for experiencing Senegal! - We had the most amazing time with Senegal Global Tours! I can recommend the company at the highest level. Mamadou and the driver were very insightful, helpful and did way more than was required or paid for. They reflected the true meaning of Senegal's "Teranga" culture of hospitality, humour, sharing and community. We look very forward to coming back again soon. Merci beaucoup!

Day out from Dakar - Great day out from Dakar. Bandia Safari was beautiful with plentiful wildlife sightings. Diligent guide. Lunch good. Such a shame for the local economy that Lac Rose is no longer pink. Fun ride up and down the dunes and beach though, again with enthusiastic guide. pick upp and drop off from our hotel

Disorganized. But Bandia good for Safari - Bandia Park safari animals were best. Tour driver took too long, with us standing around waiting, from arranged pick up time to leaving time, then again too long hanging around Pink Lake parking lot waiting for 4x4, and other issues (4x4 broke down) such that we never had time for any lunch (nor snacks, nor water), and barely enough time to do 1-hr tour at Bandia. If on a cruise shore excursion with time limits: Skip Pink Lake (not Pink, nor scenic). Spend time at Bandia & have lunch there. Or add something in Dakar to visit. Expect traffic & long drives.

Bandia Park Safair good; Skip the non-pink lake. - First, it was hard to find our specific driver/guide among the many at cruise port, as he didn't have our name on a sign like the other tour operators had. We worked hard to get off our cruise ship right on time (8:15) for an 8:30 confirmed departure time. Driver had us wait at his car for over an hour while he helped organize other SGT tours. Our tour at Pink Lake was not arranged ahead of time so there were no 4x4s available there; we waited again before they finally found an alternative 4x4, but it kept breaking down, stopped for a long time in sand dunes before they could re-start it. Also, the Pink Lake was not pink at all and there is nothing interesting to see there, so not worth the time it involved. We were eager to go to Bandia Park safari, the main attraction of this tour! By the time we got to Bandia, it was getting late, so we had to skip the included Lunch altogether, and had to shorten our safari time considerably. Only had about 1 hr on safari, as the drive from Pink Lake is long and then driving in very heavy traffic back to the Port takes 2 hours, and we made it back just in time before the "all abord" time for passengers before the ship leaves. We wished we had left at 8:30 as promised, gone straight to Bandia for safari, and skipped "Pink" Lake altogether. At the Lake we just saw the salt extraction area, equipment and some salt piles. Driving the very rough sand dunes to the strip of sand at the sea was also a waste of time unless you've never ridden off-road or seen the ocean-- especially frustrating in a vehicle that broke down a few times and you sit, waiting and wondering if you are going to get going again, and if you will ever get to your safari.
