Shell island was a wonderful and intriguing visit to people living in seemingly a different time. Very tranquil. Consider it a must experience when visiting Dakar. Pepe Eric was very informative, engaging and cordial. He was right on time, and picked us up and dropped us off at the hotel.

Pape Eric was the best private driver and tour guide!!! This was our first trip to Senegal and I and my mother learned so much about the culture, people and food that will be cherish. Pape Eric offers personalized attention and recommendations that really benefitted and capitalized on the time spent navigating all the places of interest, places to eat/shop. I felt he truly wanted us to experience "his Dakar" and made exchanging money and purchasing gifts easy. The private driver was equally kind and caring. I NEVER felt unsafe, all questions about Dakar/Senegal were answered, and all conversations were fun and relaxing. Pape Eric demonstrated his ultimate kindness in sharing his time and family with my mother and myself. For that, I will always be grateful. When I return to Dakar, I cannot fathom exploring any other tour guide than Pape Eric. Thank you Sensafari. Many blessings as your business continues to grow.

Eric was excellent, softly spoken, knowledgeable, and funny, it was a great day. Merci pour la tour!!

I always do a bit of research before each trip and the most important thing you can ever decide in advance is who will be your guide / driver. I don’t even remember how I found Pape but I’m so glad that I did. He made sure I got to do everything on my list and even added more activities so that I didn’t miss a thing! He shared his home with me. 💛 His mom’s jollof rice was absolutely amazing! 👩🏾‍🍳 He negotiated the best prices for me in the markets. 🙌🏽 Which I found extremely helpful since I don’t speak any French or Wolof. 😆 He has connections all over Dakar so don’t hesitate to ask him for anything in particular you’re looking for to buy. He is also very knowledgeable about the history and significance of every place we visited. Highlights for me were Goree Island, Bandia Reserve and Mosque Massalikoul Djinane in Dakar. Jërëjëf Papé

Eric was an amazing guide! I highly recommend him, as he was super friendly and great company on our excursion to Bandia Reserve. I recommend that you reach out to him first before booking as he offers highly customizable experiences that will meet your needs and wants during your visit to Dakar. One of many highlights was after tasting the monkey bread fruit from the Baobab tree, on our way back he purchased us a bottle of the juice. I wish we had more time to take in the rest of the city and surrounding area with him, as he was able to tell us a out each building as we drove through the city to the reserve. Thank you Eric for providing us a wonderful excursion!

After being out in a remote village for a week helping to build a school we only had time to book one outing before we had to fly home the next day. Grandma, son and grandson 12 years old who marveled at the experience, with lots of "WOW'S" Eric provides a no-hassle, safe and entertaining tour service. We were met at our hotel right on schedule to go the Reserve de Bandia in a large 4x4 vehicle with plenty of room for daypacks and cameras. A quick stop along the way so he could purchase us large bottled waters AND a bottle of Baoboa juice because he said we just had to try it. He was right -it was tasty and refreshing on such a hot day, for sure. Nice touch, Eric! Upon entering the reserve we met up with our guide to take us through the reserve who was pleasant, funny and knowledgeable about the animals and history of the reserve. He shared some exciting stores about a particular Baobob tree in the reserve, which I won't spoil - you'll have to go there to find out! We drove on the dirt roads and came across many giraffes right on the side of the road and sometimes in the road. It was truly beautiful to see such gorgeous and healthy animals munching on the trees and underbrush like nature intended, unlike in zoos. We saw zebras, monkeys, ostrich, rhino's, crocs, warthog and so much more. There was plenty of time to take pictures and we never felt rushed. We would only move on when they knew we were ready. After the tour we had generous samples of several varieties of local fruit liquors and bought a few to bring home at a reasonable price. We were driven back to our hotel, also right on schedule. We highly recommend this tour service. They give very individual and personalized service and we are so happy we picked this as our one outing! Thank you Eric
