Jeep Willys Senegal Bou el MogdadJeep Willys Senegal Bou el Mogdad

Jeep Road Trip

 

An original and sporty way to reach the Bou el Mogdad cruise

 

Combining a unique adventurous moment in a Willys jeep discovering the variety of landscapes of Senegal and its authentic villages, off the beaten tracks. From Lake Rose to Saint Louis through the beach and the dirt tracks into the Senegalese bush, meeting a warm and still genuine culture.

Thanks to a professional supervision combining comfort and safety, you will let yourself guide by the convoy or, if you prefer, you can choose the track yourself to reach the different stages of the day. You will go through original and varied routes: you will cross baobab forests, drive over sandy dunes, explore the savannah and the African bush…

The co-driver will guide the driver through stunning landscapes, equipped with a GPS and a road-book. The driver’s skills and the co-driver’s acumen will help you establish routes proficiently at the pace of your choice.
