Itinerário

1. Accompanied by our official guide, we will make a visit of profound historical importance to the Maison des Esclaves. In this sacred space of memory, we will tour its rooms and look at the iconic "Door of No Return," understanding with rigor and sensitivity the legacy of the transatlantic slave trade. After this trip to the past, we will take some time to enjoy the peace of the island with a full lunch (paid separately) at a selected restaurant overlooking the sea. It will be the perfect occasion to taste the authentic flavors of Senegal, such as fresh fish or the emblematic Thiéboudienne, before returning to the continent.

The first big challenge will be the Monument to African Renaissance, a colossal bronze structure that surpasses the Statue of Liberty in height. Here we launch a challenge to the most intrepid: climb your 198 stairs to reach the summit and be rewarded with the most spectacular 360° panoramic view of the entire peninsula.

About Dakar

Dakar, the capital of Senegal, sits on the Cap-Vert peninsula, the westernmost point of mainland Africa, a city of markets, music and ocean beaches.

Dakar occupies the tip of the Cap-Vert peninsula, jutting into the Atlantic at the westernmost point of mainland Africa. The city mixes colonial boulevards with busy markets such as Sandaga and fishing beaches where painted pirogues unload at Soumbédioune. The African Renaissance Monument, a huge bronze statue of a man, woman and child on a hilltop at Ouakam, overlooks the coast.
