The story of the tour
A journey conceived as a story.
From the bay of Dakar to the villages of the Sine-Saloum, from the dunes of Lompoul to the colonial lanes of Saint-Louis, this Grand Tour is our benchmark itinerary. A host-guide travels with you from one stage to the next, allowing all the time you need to listen, dine with local families and let the light settle.
