The Bou el Mogdad Cruise

A Journey Out of Time

From Saint-Louis on the Atlantic Ocean to Podor, the ancient trading post at the gateway to the Sahara, experience a unique African cruise aboard the Bou el Mogdad. This mythical boat, once the only link between the populations of the River Valley, now invites you to relive the Route des Comptoirs.

As you sail along, you’ll discover the grandiose landscapes and rich flora and fauna of northern Senegal. As the river meanders, you’ll come face-to-face with an authentic, unforgettably friendly population in the bush villages.

From one stage to the next, the old trading posts are revealed, steeped in history. Take the time to discover, to meet new people, to get away from it all, to the rhythm of the Bou el Mogdad.
