The Bandia Wildlife Reserve, which covers 65 km, is an ecological jewel in the crown of Senegal. He managed to reintroduce much of the wonderful native flora and some of Africa's most beloved animals. Many of them have gradually disappeared, some of them some centuries ago, due to demographic pressure and poaching.
This is what the guide Mondios has to say on this subject: "Midway between Thoiry [a safari ticket in France] and a small crater of Ngorogoro or the Masai Mara in Kenya, the reserve of Bandia lends itself well Photo safaris. It is close to the capital and Saly-Portugal and brings the legendary animals of Africa to your door.
In the grandiose setting of giant baobab trees, thorn scrub and lush vegetation, you will get a heart that will monitor the herds of large antelopes and gazelle. All this is located in the 3,500 hectares of fenced natural habitat.
Visitors can bypass the reserve in a private car or a four-wheel drive vehicle or in the safari trucks on the reserve that can be rented on site. To improve your visit, you will need to hire a specially trained guide that is not comparable to its ability to spot a baby giraffe, a vulture nest or an isolated buffalo.
You will approach most animals (in the pattern!): A treat for photographers! You can also go out and walk at times and maybe even take a closer look at a rhinoceros hidden in the bush. However, in the dry season, nature lovers even have the opportunity to go hiking in the bed of the Somone River, in the shade of the great shallots of Senegal.
In addition to fauna and flora, visitors can also see replicas of Serere pyramids with funerary chambers, griot graves [traditional containers and animators] in the hollow of a thousand-year-old baobab containing authentic human bones , A charcoal grindstone, Peulh Huttes, etc. Our competent guides, some of which are multilingual, will give you detailed explanations of all the sites and sounds of the park, illustrated with delicious anecdotes.
A restaurant and bar overlook a water well where the buffalo are seen and the crocodiles hide in the air like floating logs, and you will hear the quarrels of the monkeys!
