Saly · BETWEEN THE GAMES

One free day. One real discovery.

A day without competition allows a dedicated outing. Plan the outward journey, visit and return first.

The window is your total free time. Transport, queues and access checks are not calculated. Competition schedules are never inferred.

Nature & outdoors

Somone Lagoon

Mangroves, birds, stillness. A different rhythm on the Petite Côte.

From Saly, make the lagoon your main outing for the day. Confirm the meeting point, outing conditions and transport; the marker locates an area, not a landing stage.

Giraffes in Bandia Reserve
Dedicated day

Nature & outdoors

Bandia Reserve

A nature escape to weave between Dakar and the Petite Côte.

Plan a dedicated reserve outing with the vehicle and return arranged. The visit and the journey are separate: no competition-to-reserve return travel time is claimed here.

Around where you are.

Open a place page to explore its surroundings. Precise markers support a radius search; a broad area cannot establish your journey.

Open the places map

The general map is outside your free-time filter. It does not provide a route to complete before the next competition.

EXTEND YOUR STAY

The Games are over. Senegal isn’t. 🇸🇳

Save the places that call to you and leave more room for the coast, culture or mangroves after the competitions.
