The best hotels Mar Lodj

The campsite, situated on the island of Mar-Lodj in the delta of Du-Saloum, consists of bungalows with views of the delta. The food served comes from fishing for the settlement or purchase of fish and shellfish.

Proposed activities. Visit of the national park of the Delta delta.

Minimizing impact. The camp recycles its waste. Consumable waste is given to animals in the village. The few plastic waste is burned. Toilets are not discarded in the sea but are treated in a septic tank. Walks are preferably made by kayak in the mangrove. The construction of new boxes is made of wood on piles and without touching the mangrove. The electricity is of solar origin and the hot water of the showers.

Local population. The camp employs the local staff of the surrounding villages. All repairs are assigned to local artisans.

Le Bazouk du Saloum has been taken over by Marie and Philippe, who have transformed it into a charming ecolodge with a "zero waste" label. They offer comfortable bungalows, all equipped with bathroom, mosquito net and private terrace, built around a convivial straw hut. The site is ideal for rejuvenation, with a small beach and a variety of activities such as meditation and Qi Gong. For children, there are board games and table tennis. Fishing and excursions by cart, pirogue or kayak are also available. A very good address.

With its feet in the water, this small camp is a very quiet place. The restaurant-bar offers a hearty Senegalese and European cuisine. Different activities are organized by Farakaba, such as walks or cart rides in the different villages of Mar Lodj, to meet its inhabitants. Fishing is also possible in the very rich waters of the delta. The 11 rooms are simple but clean, all have their own bathroom. Excellent welcome from Awa and Iba.

A good plan for small budgets! The hostel, which runs on solar electricity, has about ten huts and a large bar-restaurant, serving as a collective living space. The huts, with simple but correct comfort, are equipped with individual bathrooms and mosquito nets, and each has its own private terrace. If you can, ask for the huts with a sea view, which are more pleasant than those at the end of the courtyard. A small beach has been set up in front of the camp, perfect for lounging.

With its feet in the water, this fishing and discovery camp offers a complete change of scenery in the middle of nature. Powered by solar energy, it is run by Chantal and Gérard, two passionate Africa fans, who will organize fishing trips, island picnics and other excursions for you. The 9 spacious huts are scattered across a vast wooded plot, swept by the breeze of the bolongs. Between games of ping-pong, pétanque and beach volleyball, the atmosphere is family-friendly. There's also a lovely swimming pool for a refreshing dip. Tasty cuisine.
