M'Bour, located 7 km is originally a fishing village (paired with Concarneau). It is also the third largest city in Senegal, and the living heart of the Petite Côte (Saly Portudal depends on M'Bour). You will find all the shops, banks, the huge market resembling the souks and Ali Baba's cave (you can even make tailor-made clothing), the Senegalese artisan village, much more typical than those of Saly.

To discover this beautiful and welcoming country nicknamed Teranga (land of welcome), where kindness and good humor are paramount, enjoy many excursions from Nianing: visit the reserve Bandia, completely renovated in 2013; Somone, its beaches, canoe trips, craftsmen carpenters or metal craftsmen; the shellfish island just 25 km away, the Sine Saloum, the Pink Lake, the Gorée Island (in front of Dakar 90km away), Saint-Louis ... and who knows, if you have time: the wild Casamance ( count one night on the spot at least)!
During your stay, you will only have to take care of yourself and forget everything: gastronomy, idleness, tanning, swimming, beach, authentic walks ... and meetings with a population that by its energy, its positivism, its kindness, its sense of sharing and solidarity, you will learn to take a step back on our Western life: a real change of scenery!

Firstly, the villa is absolutely stunning and matches the online photos. Our group made up of two couples and two friends were accommodated nicely in the villa. Each bedroom was designed tastefully and had its on shower, however two of the bedrooms do share a ground floor toilet which wasn’t a problem for us but can be problem for another. The pool was cleaned everyday by the wonderful Sheikh (thank you!) and was the perfect place to cool down every morning. This was used daily by us and I’d honestly say was the best private pool we’ve had. The kitchen was great in size and the fridge was huge. I can’t go without mentioning Eli, the star of the house. We were vegetarians and Elisabeth cooked us amazing dishes and daily breakfast which was probably my second most favourite thing about my Senegal experience aside from the excursions. Also, shoutout to Awa our second housekeeper, just as lovely and great to talk to :) The bills incurred during our stay were separate, like electricity, toilet paper, washing up liquid etc however they were mostly inexpensive. Our electricity was relatively good value for 3 weeks and we spent just over 90,000 cfa for the whole trip. However, please note we only used the air con for one night in the whole trip so that’s why our bill was nice and low. Laurence the owner was easy to contact and answered any questions we had. Thank you for our amazing stay at your property! We will return again soon :)

First, I must say that Senegal and the Senegalese people are beautiful. As part of the diaspora living in America, it was important for me culturally to visit the Motherland. Now for my review. Our stay was on par with what I expected except for a few caveats. Pros: 1. Elizabeth the housekeeper and cook was absolutely wonderful as well as Xavier our driver. Be sure to tip them very generously as they work very hard to please you. 2. The villa is decorated very tastefully and was clean. 3. The pool was well maintained and the water was clean. Cons: 1. Many bugs in the kitchen at night. Professional remediation of this should be ongoing. 2. The electric cut out during our 9 night stay no less than 20 times. Although, it was no more than 5 minutes each time, it became bothersome. Perhaps a whole house generator or solar panels with battery backup could be installed to prevent this. 3. We paid 10,000 CFA about $16 per day for electric and we only used the air conditioner for cooling at night. As such be prepared to spend on average $20 per day for electric. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience and Lord willing I will return to the land of Senegal.

Séjour fabuleux dans une merveilleuse villa !
Séjour fabuleux dans une merveilleuse villa !
Très belle villa tout confort dans un environnement vraiment dépaysant, Tout était parfait ! Les prestations sont totalement conformes à la description. Résidence au calme, en pleine nature, facile d'accès et sécurisée. Juste un petit bémol concernant les moustiques, assez nombreux à Nianing même si la villa est très bien équipée pour faire face. L'utilisation de pièges à moustiques permettrait d’être plus efficace tout en préservant l'environnement. Les enfants ont adoré la piscine et la table de ping pong. Merci à Cheikh qui maintient au quotidien ce cadre Idyllique, en toute discrétion. La piscine est toujours prête avant même la fin du ptit dej ! Mention spéciale à Elisabeth pour sa disponibilité et les excellents plats qu'elle a nous mijotés durant tout le séjour et toujours le sourire !
