Bandia Wildlife Reserve, which covers 65 km, is a veritable ecological jewel in the Senegalese crown. He has 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 a few centuries ago, because of population pressure and poaching.
This is what the Mondios guide has to say about it: "Halfway between Thoiry [a safari ticket in France] and a small crater of Ngorogoro or the Masai Mara in Kenya, the Bandia Reserve lends itself well to photo safaris. It is close to the capital and to Saly-Portugal and brings the legendary African animals to your door.
In the grand setting of giant baobabs, thorny exfoliation and lush vegetation, you'll get a heart that will watch the herds of large antelopes and gazelle. All this is in the 3,500 hectares of fenced natural habitat.
Visitors can bypass the reserve in a private car or four-wheel drive vehicle or in the reserve safari trucks 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's nest or an insulated buffalo.
You will approach most animals (in the motive!): A treat for photographers! You can also go out and walk at certain 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 hike in the bed of the Somone River, in the shade of large shallots in Senegal.
In addition to the fauna and flora, visitors can also see replicas of Serere pyramids with funerary chambers, griot tombs [traditional containers and animators] in the hollow of a millennial baobab containing authentic human bones , a grindstone of charcoal, Peulh huts, etc. Our competent guides, some of whom are multilingual, will give you detailed explanations of all the sites and sounds of the park, illustrated by delicious anecdotes.
A restaurant and a bar overlook a water well where buffaloes are seen and crocodiles hide in the air like floating logs, and you will hear the quarrels of the monkeys!
