Where to practice an individual sport Senegal

Eric Duboucher, already a champion of underwater hunting in Senegal, offers you to share his experience of hunting off Dakar. This is his specialty, but he can also organize scuba diving, sport fishing or coastal fishing for amateurs or beginners.

Here's a great way to discover La Somone and the surrounding area: on horseback or pony! This serious, professional equestrian center offers rides for beginners and advanced riders alike. On the beach, by the lagoon, in the bush, in the heart of a baobab forest or in fishing villages. There's a whole range of fun excursions on offer. It's best to plan these outings for early morning or late afternoon, when it's not too hot. The new management team arrived in July with a number of new features, including 1 or 2-night excursions.

Priority is given to the discovery of the region, thanks to circuits on foot, mountain bike or kayak. Surely one of the best contacts and the most professional advice you can get in the area. For those who want to get closer to a natural Casamance and wish to make excursions in bivouacs, mixing hiking, kayaking and mountain biking, you are knocking at the right door. The guides are well trained and the itineraries original. You can opt for excursions around Oussouye, discovery tours and for the great sportsmen of the itinerant raids.

Inaugurated in 1998, it is the only 18-hole golf course in Senegal. It was designed by the Liège architect Vic Bernstein, who integrated the course into the natural environment, while conserving the fifty or so trees growing on the site. The course extends over a green and well-maintained area of 70 hectares, with impeccable greens that meet international standards. The reception is also very friendly, and you can take introductory courses, group or individual. Good professional services.

Some tree climbing on baobabs, impressive, isn't it? What a strange feeling to climb multi-centenary trees. Different activities: the adult course, the children's courses, the climbing site, the baobab-tyrolienne, the longest in the world between two trees! The park also offers brand new adventures on the Aquabaobab site, in the heart of a vast lake lined with baobabs. Original, fun and accessible to all, the site is well secured. You can also sleep at the Accrobaobab gîte, a collective accommodation built with local materials.

Nothing better than a horseback ride in this majestic site. In the company of a seasoned rider, the one and a half hour ride allows you to cross the sand dunes, to ride along the beach at sunset and to cross a beautiful forest of filaos for an exceptional souvenir. For the more athletic, the 3-hour walk will take you to the Fulani village of Bonaba, along the lake, the market gardening fields and the beach, to finish with a hearty lunch at the Gîte du Lac. There are also several days of trekking. Riders of all levels accepted.

Originally from Brittany, Gildas grew up in Senegal, went fishing in all the oceans, and is now back in his adopted country with his sport fishing club. Great connoisseur of the country and its coasts, you are in good hands if you want to try this sport! Different types of fishing are offered: marlin trolling with lures, sea bream with a longline or even speckled bass with a casting. Besides his passion that he will share with you with great pleasure, Gildas is also very nice.

Based on the beach of the village of Ngor, Mamadou Seck, the friendly brother of the manager of Sunu Makane, offers sea trips, whether for fishing or visiting the surrounding islands. Fishing enthusiasts can try their hand at longlining or deep-sea fishing off the coast of Dakar. Mamadou adapts easily to the desires of the customers and you will be able to decide which trips you wish to make. It is also possible to rent boats or make the crossing by pirogue to the island of Ngor, at reasonable prices. A good plan!

This fishing center is located in front of the island of Ngor. From here you will meet blue marlin, sailfish, dolphins, dolphins, sharks, barracudas, red carp, tuna, trevallies, badges, groupers, sea bream. Big game fishing is practiced from June to November, trolling with lures, live or dead natural bait. Long-line fishing is practiced from November to June: you can measure yourself against the famous big red carp (djabbar) and rock fish! Two-day fishing trips are proposed to be set up early in the morning.

Jean-Pierre, who landed in Casamance with his brother almost 20 years ago, is one of the Cape's best references. He offers trolling trips in the bolongs in search of holes and trenches (the boat has a depth sounder) or surfcasting along the sand dunes, a little further north. He can also arrange for you to take a 4x4 (with driver) to some of the more inaccessible spots. We also offer comfortable rooms, with an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet. Swimming pool, private beach and massage area.

This is the oldest of Dakar's two major stadiums, built in 1963. Originally called the "stade de l'Amitié", it took the name of the former mayor of Mbour and Minister of Youth and Sports, under the presidency of Léopold Sédar Senghor, in 1967. While soccer matches are played here, the stadium is best known for the unmissable wrestling matches that take place in its 15,000-seat arena, which could do with a major overhaul. It's a spectacle, both sporting and cultural, not to be missed.

The Club Med website is open to external clients. In a splendid setting, between the ocean and the lush coconut grove, you will be able to enjoy several activities, including archery, bowls, sailing, golf and tennis. There is also a massage parlour for those who wish to relax. It is also possible to eat on site: large buffets with starters, various dishes and desserts or à la carte, near the beach. Cabarets and quality shows animate some evenings. Ask for information on the spot. Passport required at the entrance.

Created by the Bicicletas sin Fronteras Foundation, this bike shop (rental and repairs), opened in 2019, supports the Spanish association in their project to offer bikes to young people so that they can go to school more easily.
