Excursion to Mbodiène Mass
Mbodiène is a hamlet on the Petite Côte between Nianing and Joal. It's a village of Serer farmers between the sea and the Mbour-Joal road. Sorghum is grown here almost exclusively. It's a really nice place to be, with pleasant walks. I invite you to attend Sunday mass in the pretty church of the small village of Mbodiene, to the sound of the djembes, at the heart of the country's Catholic community. You'll discover the special stained-glass windows at the bottom of the bottle in this place of meditation.

EXCELLENTBased on 93 reviewsVerifiedagacegla2024-02-18Lion walk and Dakar with Salt Lake - 2 trips in 2 days We had a 2 days with Malick. First trip to Fathala Park with lion walk. Everything perfect. Only two of us and Malick, so totally private tour via Senegal cities. Second trip to Dakar conect with Salt Lake and nice adventure on old Paris Dakar desert. That was a proposal of Malick to connect that trip and that was a great idea. Malick is speaking english so the communication was easy and we hear a lot about Senegal. It was very safe. The best company to see Senegal not in big bus but with local guy :)VerifiedMonique K2024-02-07A very reliable guide! Looking for an English speaking guide in Senegal I found Malick here on trip advisor and contacted him a few weeks before arrival. I told him which places I would like to visit and he came up with a nice itinerary and a good price. He was always replying fast.When I arrived at the airport he was there to pick me up with my name on a sign. With all the excursions and transfers (he drove me to St.Louis from Saly, and back, visiting Touba on the way) he was always waiting for me before the agreed pick-up time. For every excursion he had made arrangements beforehand, a boat trip or a local guide or a lunch ready.Also I found Malick very flexible: I changed pick-up times and plans on several occasions, but with Malick everything is possible. Just ask. On a second trip to Senegal coming from the South he picked me at the ferry in Barra, Gambia.Besides French and English he is also fluent in Spanish.Anyway, as a solo female traveller I felt very comfortable with Malick driving and guiding me and I can absolutely recommend him!VerifiedNavigate589717095452024-02-02Fallou Fall guide Fllou Fall is Great guy and great guide.He is a good drummer and nice and funny person.

I contacted him through his website and he promptly responded the same day. We continued our conversation through whatsapp and within a day, I had booked him for a city tour of Dakar.Mallick was punctual in picking me up from my hotel. As a solo female traveler, I felt safe and completely at ease with him. He speaks French, Spanish, and English and we were able to converse without any problems.I enjoyed all the sights (African Renaissance monument, Divinity mosque, Goree island, Lac Rose, Soumbédioune market) and also felt safe with Mallick’s driving. He was patient with answering all my questions around Senegalese customs and traditions and I learned a lot from our conversation.I definitely recommend Mallick as a tour guide/driver in Dakar.Verifiedhhh2023-07-03Memorias of Africa Malicks motto is "everything is possible" and so it was taking us to an ethnic village on his day off to give them gifts and essentials that we'd bought!He showed us his culture, his life, the people, the colours and the happyness of the people.We went to Gorree Island, Pink Lake, Saloum, Shell island as excursions but Malick also does tours, rentals and anything you want. He speaks English, Spanish, French and even Catalan! after living there gor a few years.I strongly recommended Malick he was slways, puntual and informative. Anything you want ask!Thankyou Malick you and your country will stay in our hearts forever!VerifiedGreg P2023-03-12Fantastic, friendly tour guide - 5 stars. Malik was informative, friendly, knowledgeable and above all else professional. Very clear and honest pricing structure and always on time at the agreed pickup point. We undertook 5 separate trips with him during our week in Senegal and would recommend this company very highly indeed. Thanks for a wonderful time.VerifiedWill2023-02-27Remote travel Malick is a good driver. He is also reliable, flexible and knowledgeable. He went out of his way to be helpful.VerifiedAdam S2022-07-27Excellent guide, transportation, conversation Went to Saly with a couple of buddies for a family wedding, stayed in Senegal a week total...feel very lucky we got connected with Malick right at the beginning! He took us into markets in Saly where I for sure would not have known how to navigate or negotiate for myself, and he had other recommendations for daytime and nightlife in Saly. Last few days we went up to Dakar and he was fully able to transport us to/from the city and the airport, despite the distances. Interesting to talk to, cool dude. Always timely.VerifiedRico X2022-07-16Authentic Africa I had an amazing time with Malick, was one of my best tours I have done in Africa. Really was, extremely professional, caring and informative, anything I needed or requested to see or do he sorted it and that is why i'll be using him again and highly recommend everybody else to use him and his company. Thanks R.
Recomendación toral y absoluta para ir Dakar de la mano de Malickconcha rodrigo2023-04-26Experiencia sensacional. Para repetir… espero volver pronto a ver a Malik.francisco rodrigo2023-04-26Malik va ser la persona que ens va rebre a l’aeroport i ens va portar a l’hotel. Al arribar estava allí esperant-nos i ens en vam adonar que parlava català. Parla español i català perfecte a més d’altres llengües. Vam realitzar una visita amb ell, la reserva de bandia. Ens ho va gestionar tot, entrades, el guia i ens va fer la visita molt amena. És una persona molt recomanable en Senegal per a qualsevol cosa que necessites.Aina Moragues Cardona2023-04-15Fantàstic país i fantàstic guia. Malik parla català, espanyol, frances i el dialecte majoritari. Excel.lent conductor i coneixedor del territori i història.ANNA BELEN lopez curia2023-04-14Malick is the best.
