Keur Saloum

Top choice in Senegal


This Belgian-run lodge offers quality accommodation in attractive bungalows, nicely outfitted and set amid lush grounds. But it's all the extras that have earned Keur Saloum such a solid reputation over the years, with a spacious restaurant and deck overlooking the mangroves, an enticing pool and an impressive array of tours.
