What to expect

Embark on a journey to Gorée Island. Located off the coast of Senegal and facing Dakar, Gorée Island was the largest trading centre on the African coast from the 15th to the 19th century. It has seen Portuguese, Dutch, English and French domination, each leaving their mark on its architecture. The contrast between the sombre slave-quarters and the elegant houses of the slave traders is striking.

Your exploration begins with a climb up to Castel via the Baobabs alley, where you'll be rewarded with a view of Dakar from the Memorial of Slaves. Before having lunch, you'll also explore the Senegal Historical Museum.

Your journey ends with a visit to the House of the Slaves Museum and the Saint Charles Church. This excursion promises scenic beauty but also a dive into the colonial past of this island.
