Embark on a private immersion into the wild heart of Senegal, near the border with Gambia, in the Fathala Reserve: 6,000 hectares of protected teak forest where the jungle merges with the savannah.

The jewel of the experience is the Walk with Lions: accompanied by licensed rangers, you will walk alongside free-roaming lions, with no leashes or cages. Minimum height: 1.50 m.

Afterwards, aboard an open 4x4 with 360 visibility, you will spot rhinos, giraffes, zebras, the Derby Eland, forest buffalo, warthogs and monkeys.

Door-to-door pickup from your hotel (Dakar, Saly, Somone, Mbour or Pointe-Sarène) in a private vehicle with A/C. Full day of 10-12 hours.
