Cultural Immersion at it's Finest
OMG!!! Where do I begin. This tour was simply AMAZING. Amadou and his team paid attention to every detail. From the shopping, canoe rides, museum visits, restaurants, ... I chose this tour for the cultural immersion it offered, and it was truly transformative. This is a must for everyone. Looking forward to returning.

8 day Unforgettable Tour
The 8 day Tour was the experience of a lifetime. Not only did we get to experience the beauty of Senegal and The Gambia, we experienced first hand the culture of Senegalese peoples. Our guide Amadou was extremely knowledgeable and made sure that we learned and experienced the culture of the people. As an African American who was a descendant of previously enslaved captured Africans, this was a transformative adventure ( I would not call it vacation because it was educational, intense and explorative). The visits to Goree Island and Kunta Kinte gave me the opportunity to “feel” the viciousness of enslavement, while the visits to small villages gave me a glimpse of the strength and beauty of my ancestors. I had a taste of the music, the art, the religions, and the food of this country. This taste left me wanting to know more and experience more. I do plan to repeat this adventure again.

Transformative, Once in a Lifetime 8 Days in Senegal
Getting to travel with Amadou Barry and Agsil Senegal Travel Tours has deeply impacted my life. Traveling with Amadou this December was not the first time I had traveled with him. When I was thinking about visiting Senegal once again, Agsil Travel was the only company that I considered. Over the years, I’ve found Amadou to be very accommodating and responsive. On these 8 days of travel, he knew all of the finest details to consider. Since we were going to spend Christmas Eve in Casamance, I know the day needed to be special so I asked Amadou how could we incorporate some of the local traditions and culture of the Diola People. Amadou contacted the Diola Cultural Center and had them join us on the beach for a magnificent Christmas Eve celebration on the beach. We also visited several of the local villages to learn about the diverse cultures. The level of attention to detail and positive relationships is what makes Amadou’s Agsil Travel really stand out. When I mentioned to Amadou that one thing we had not heard was someone playing the Kora, he contacted a local kora player. This was not just any kora player but Amadou contacted a master kora player who had come from a long tradition of master kora players. This is typical Amadou. The music was mesmerizing. I highly recommend Agsil 8 day experience to Casamance. Most people will come to Senegal and spend a few days in Dakar, but they will not experience the 8 days of traveling through diverse cultures, ethnicities and bio diversity as traveling to Casamance. We traveled through The Gambia and experienced Kunte Kinte Island (James Island) and learned about the history of enslavement. We even stopped at a monkey park and played with the monkeys. We also stopped to touch the crocodiles. We spent the night at several locations along the way to rest at beautiful hotels on the beach where we saw some of the most amazing sunsets. Along the way, we all loved spending time in Salt with its beautiful sunsets; Joal Fadiouth where we explored “Shell Island and experienced the power of religious acceptance; , Marloth Island where we road on the backs of horse drawn carriages to learn about the village and the women’s cooperative; Ker Saloum with its idyllic setting in nature; Eloubaline Island with its impluvium; and the stunning beach at Hotel Maya Resort. Every stop gave us new memories. To return to Dakar, Amadou arranged for us to experience the overnight boat. We boarded the ferry Aline Sitoe Diatta on Christmas Day, Sunday, where the dolphins escorted us along the Casamance River out to the Atlantic Ocean where we arrived around Sunset. We dined on the ship, slept and then arrived back in Dakar at 6 AM the next day where we got to experience the quiet of Dakar at Sunrise. Everyone in our group grew to love and admire Amadou for his attention to detail, care and love, and commitment to give his best. I hope I can travel again with Amadou. As an American who loved Senegal, Amadou is one of the best from any country who makes the guests in his country feel at home. If you can make this once in a lifetime journey, I hope you will with Amadou and Agsil Travel.
Response from the operator: The entire Agsil Senegal travel tours team thanks you Dr Hamm for your feedback and your time.We are happy to know that you enjoyed our 8 days private tour package and our services have lived up to your expectations.We hope to see you again soon . All the best

Private 8 days Tour in Dakar Saloum Delta and Casamance: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dakar.
How much does Private 8 days Tour in Dakar Saloum Delta and Casamance cost?
+
Prices start at $2,177 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dakar usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private 8 days Tour in Dakar Saloum Delta and Casamance take?
+
Plan for about 192 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dakar is not rushed.
Is Private 8 days Tour in Dakar Saloum Delta and Casamance worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dakar, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private 8 days Tour in Dakar Saloum Delta and Casamance?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private 8 days Tour in Dakar Saloum Delta and Casamance suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 192-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private 8 days Tour in Dakar Saloum Delta and Casamance?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dakar can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dakar and add a light layer if any part of the 192-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private 8 days Tour in Dakar Saloum Delta and Casamance start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dakar within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dakar?
+
On Outty we rank every Dakar experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Explore Dakar and Gorée Island full day, Taxi DSS to DAKAR,SALY,RIU HOTEL,SOMONE ( please check Options), Full-Day DAKAR city / GOREE Island Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dakar?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dakar?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
