Things to see and do Boucotte

Created in 2010, this nature reserve covers 400 ha, between the arm of the Casamance River and the Atlantic Ocean. It is managed by an economic interest group that works in close collaboration with local populations, associations and training schools. Guides have been trained to accompany tourists to discover the local fauna and flora, especially birds, on foot or by bicycle. A small ecolodge with a panoramic view called Ecolodge Sembene Ousmane opened in 2014, and offers among other things a few rooms in an impluvium hut.

Kadioute is an open-air museum set in a forest of centuries-old cheese trees. On a guided tour at the foot of each tree, you'll discover instruments, utensils and detailed, humorous explanations of Diola culture. If possible, visit this museum at the beginning of your stay. You'll then have all the information you need to better understand your trip to Casamance. On the program: discovery of wrestling codes, palm wine harvesting, cooking, fetishes, the agrarian cycle, etc. Valère, the guide, is fascinating!
