Keur Saloum Resort  

On the edge of Senegal’s protected Saloum Delta National Park in Toubacouta, about 270 km from Dakar. This 7-hectare resort of 48 African-style bungalows sits among coco trees and tropical flora with mangrove and ocean views and a private landing stage on the Bandiala River that leads to the ocean.

Round, thatched bungalows line flowered pathways and offer air conditioning and private shower rooms. The mood is relaxed and tropical — think shaded terraces, a cascading pool and a panoramic sundeck perfect for sunsets and slow mornings.

Take a dip in the outdoor and cascading pools, serve up a match on the tennis court, or sip cocktails at the poolside bar. On-site gear includes kayaks, mountain bikes, petanque and table tennis. A tour desk arranges river and village excursions, and there’s free parking on site.

Meeting rooms and 24-hour reception support small events. ADSL and wireless internet access plus free Wi‑Fi across the property keep you connected.

Meals are served on the covered terrace, poolside or under the overhang. Breakfast is a buffet, while lunch and dinner are offered à la carte. There’s also a restaurant, cafe and a snack/cocktail bar for casual bites and drinks.
