Réserve de Bandia

Réserve de Bandia is Senegal's premier private wildlife reserve, encompassing 3,500 hectares of West African landscape characterized by towering baobab trees, thorny bush, and liana forest near Mbour on the Petite Côte. The reserve offers guided safari experiences where visitors encounter giraffes, white rhinos, zebras, antelopes, ostriches, a variety of monkeys, and a diverse array of bird species roaming freely across the terrain. Mandatory guides are trained to spot wildlife and share the reserve's conservation history and cultural significance. An on-site restaurant overlooking a watering hole provides further opportunities to observe crocodiles and other animals, making Bandia an exceptional safari destination accessible from Dakar and the Saly resort area.
