Fannabara

Senegal


This simple place with a few simple bungalows surrounded by greenery makes a fine but rustic base for exploring the delta. Knowledgeable guides offer everything from island jaunts to 7-day circuits.

It's located 12km south of Toubakouta (and 1km from Missirah), but is extremely difficult to find on your own. Make contact with Fannabara before setting out.
