Lodge des Collines de Niassam

One of Senegal's most original campements lies in a pristine setting on the edge of a lagoon. You can sleep in atmospheric tree houses that cling to the mighty branches of baobabs, in elegant bungalows perched on stilts over the water or in colourful savannah rooms with flower-trimmed terraces.

There's an excellent restaurant, and all manner of tours (and transfers) are available.
