    Goree Island

    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.

    Le Monument de la Renaissance Africaine

    In the afternoon, back in the capital, we will head towards the great milestones of Senegalese modernity. 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.
