We ride between different villages where we meet the local population and get to learn a bit about their habits.

The Bird Island is the last island that separates the Sine Saloum-Delta from the Atlantic Ocean. After a long journey by proa between the mangroves, which are already a very great deal to discover, you will moor on the beachy coastlines of the widely famous Bird Island, including the world's most important stern-breeding ground for migratory birds.

The difference
The hotel has already helped out in quite a few important humanitarian projects during the past few years. And they will continue to do so. But, as far as possible, distributed on a larger area, namely Niombato, almost as large as a Belgian Province. Here are a couple of the projects that they are currently working on:
Operation Clear Water
The construction of a well and water catchment areas in Toubacouta: these wells provide the population of fresh water (the existing sinks was brackish water – half salt). Now, the people can focus on gardening. Their vegetable harvest is sold to the hotels. In this way a new crop can be sown, and the local population has an additional income. The achievement of these wells took 2.100.000 FCFA or €3.281.
Operation Hyena
The hyenas continuously violated the cemetery of the local population. Therefore, a solution was the construction of a wall around the cemetery. The construction of the wall was a great success, the hyenas remained out of the wall. The cost amounted 5.000.000 FCFA or €7.810.
Operation Good Report
Together with 3000 travel agents, they help out with the development of the people and children. Customers also are free to bring clothing, medication, educational equipment, etc. It’s also possible to buy educational equipment in the hotel. The yield is entirely used for helping out the schools.
