Around 22km south of Saint-Louis, this peaceful spot makes a great base for excursions into the Parc National de la Langue de Barbarie. Accommodation is available in simple huts and spacious bungalows spread across a large terrain. The restaurant with open-air tables is a fine spot for meeting other travellers.

Guests are free to use the kayaks, and you can also arrange boat tours and bird-watching excursions. If you contact them before arrival, they can collect you from Saint-Louis and drop you off in town for city visits or on departure. All guests must pay the one-time CFA5000 park entrance fee (valid for a month).
