About Senegal

A 5.30 hours flight from Paris and Brussels, Senegal is the nearest black African country to Europe.
It has a reputation of political stability and friendly welcoming. People are known for their good mood, love of music, toleration and the legendary téranga.

They live in perfect harmony with the other cultures of the country.
Their law approaches ours, they speak French almost everywhere and the Euro is accepted in all trades.

The tropical climate has two seasons. The dry season covers mid-October until mid-July and the rainy season which consists of short but heavy showers, makes the land beautifully green. The whole year through, the temperature varies between 25° and 30°. The most pleasant period corresponds to our winter season, from October until April.

E.C. members only need a valid passport (still valid 6 months after return to Europe) without visa. For the Belgian and the French, an identity card is sufficient if they have a hotel voucher. No vaccination of health-booklet is required, but a preventive treatment against malaria is advisable. It would be a good idea to consult your doctor.

A safe is at your disposal at the reception of the hotel. There is also a little shop where you will find forgotten products.
Bank cards accepted : Visa, MasterCard, American Express, for payment of the hotel invoice, excursions and extra's (not for withdrawal).

Booking

Booking your stay is easy ! Contact your travel agent.
He will arrange your flight and your stay at the hotel. If your agent cannot find a flight at the required date, contact a specialized agency "flights only", and in that case book your stay with us, by phone, fax or e-mail.

As soon as you arrive in Senegal, our services take care of the whole transfer to the hotel : reception at the airport, collecting the luggage, custom operations, and transfer with one of our air-conditioned vehicles, at any time, day our night (even when the flight has been delayed).

Because of the complexity and diversion of certain reservations we cannot put in the rates.
By simple request we will communicate the rates.
3 types of trips will receive special conditions :
Couples on Honeymoon (minimum 7 days) will receive a sumptuous diner of langoustes and French Champaign.
- Couples who stay for more than two weeks will enjoy a free stay, as from the third week for one week for the woman.
Big important Groups should always contact us, so that we can discuss the reductions proportional to their number.

    On long term the ambitions of "Ecosystème" will be very important because of their main issue.
    Since January 2005 we organize ornithological days in the Saloum and in the north of Senegal (Parc du Djoudj.)., and campaigns for ringing water birds on the "ile aux Oiseaux", we have the support of the "Direction des Parcs Nationaux du Sénégal" and the "Institut Royal des Sciences Naturelles" in Brussels. We have the assistance of first class technical biologists.
    "Ecosystèmes" wishes to contribute to following realizations :
    - the reintroduction of disappeared animal species which lived in Senegal
      such as Giraffe Peralto and several kinds of antelopes.
    - The protection of sea- and land-tortoises, sea cows and other mammals,
      chimpanzee, all animals that we still find in Senegal.
