The best hotels Fouta-Toro

The establishment is modest but correct with five large, colourful bedrooms, each with its own small sitting area, bathroom and toilet. The site is pleasant facing the river, perfect to recharge your batteries. In addition, the reception of Ousmane and his team is very friendly. They will be able to advise you on the places to see and even organize excursions, if you wish. However, the restaurant leaves little choice between steak or chicken and a Senegalese dish. A little expensive all the same for the old-fashioned!

Run by Samba Diop, this camp enjoys a superb location on the hills overlooking the Senegal River. It features clean, modern, traditional huts. Rooms are air-conditioned and comfortable.
