Program Description
Discover two contrasting sides of Senegal - lively Dakar and the historic island of Gorée. Explore the streets of the capital, visit local markets and cross to an island where narrow lanes lead through places shaped by its past.
In Dakar, you will experience a city where traditional and modern influences come together. As you explore its streets, you will visit key tourist sites and local markets, offering a glimpse into everyday life in the capital.
You will then travel to Gorée Island, which has been closely connected with the history of the slave trade for centuries. One of the key stops is the House of Slaves, a memorial site that recalls the history of the slave trade and its tragic consequences. UNESCO recognises Gorée as an exceptional testimony to this history and a place of remembrance.
As you walk through the island, you will also discover its historic character, visible in its narrow streets and architecture. The visit offers an opportunity to better understand the significance of Gorée and its place in the history of the region.
Combining Dakar and Gorée allows you to experience both the contemporary life of the capital and an important place of remembrance connected with Senegal’s history.
The order of sightseeing and the programme may change.
