The historic town of Joal-Fadiouth is located to the southeast of Dakar, on the tip of the stunning Petite Côte coastline. Discover it for yourself when you take our amazing trip during which you'll also visit a traditional Serer tribal village.

Joal-Fadiouth and Tribal Village Private Trip

At 9 am, we'll collect you from your hotel in Dakar and hop into a 4x4 vehicle to begin our fantastic tour of Senegal's Petite Côte coastline. Our first stop is a tribal village of the Serer people, the third largest ethnic group in the country.

There, you'll get a taste of the inhabitant's traditional way of life when you discover the local houses, schools, and shops. You'll also visit a local market where you'll encounter traditional products, handcrafted by the tribespeople.

After visiting the tribal village, our trip continues at Joal, a settlement discovered by the Portuguese in the 15th century and the birth city of the first president of Senegal, Leopold Senghor. We'll take to the fishing port, one of the largest on the Petite-Côte coast.

Later we then go to the neighboring commune of Fadiouth crossing a wooden bridge that links both localities. During our tour, you'll find out why both settlements historically united. On the other side, you discover the Fadiouth lies on an island of clam shells.

We'll visit the Cemetary, which is home to the remains of both Christians and Muslims. You'll also learn all about the history of the baobab tree, which stands there in homage to the deceased. You'll also encounter a pretty traditional church.

Then we return to Joal. If you want, you can paddle there along the waters of the Atlantic in a canoe (optional). Our tour finally comes to an end in Dakar where we'll drop you back at your hotel between 9 and 10 hours after the start of the activity.
