The story of this stay
The essence of Dakar and Gorée Island, with a passionate guide.
Dakar is best discovered on foot and in good company: Kermel market in the morning, the corniche at golden hour, the Almadies as the city lights up.
Then the ferry to Gorée, the island of memory, where people speak in hushed voices. A short weekend, but one that leaves its mark.
