CULTURE
When your vacation pulse is low enough, you might want to explore the surroundings – get to know the music, the dances, maybe go fishing, paddle along the rivers or visit a local community where people live much the same way they have done for hundreds of years.
Let loose and dance!
Join the dance around the fire at TinTing in the evening, or let yourself be tempted to take some dance lessons.
Meet a real king
Travel with us to the old kingdom Oussouye, where we will be received by the king, dressed in red, and visit an old slave trading port.
Shopping
It’s tempting to fill up your suitcase when you go shopping, and the good thing is that you won’t be bankrupted by it.
Music festivals
There’s always a concert or a festival somewhere, besides the big festival in Abéné around New Year’s. We know which and where.

NATURE
Casamance is Senegal’s lushest and most diverse region – known for its rich nature, the mangrove swamps and teeming life along the river banks. The area is a special treat for birdwatchers. Endless beaches and explorations in the bush await you.
A Day in the Bush
Have you read “The Little Prince”? Absolutely everything from the fantastic baobab tree is used. There are also many myths surrounding these trees. Our guide is a well of ancient knowledge about trees and plants.
Morning River Trip
A morning outing by canoe on the Alahein River. We go up to the river right before sunrise and paddle quietly along the river bank while we watch the birds. A solid breakfast at the Sunset Café before we are brought back to TinTing by boat.
Reptile Park in Gambia
On this day excursion to Gambia we visit a reptile park, see exciting animals and learn how they try to protect endangered reptile species.
The Joy of Fishing
The river and the sea are full of fish, from the small river fish to the highly sought big whitefish and many others.

VILLAGE LIFE
Right on the other side of the rice paddy from TinTing is the little village of Niafourang, where life goes on at its own leisurely pace. Everybody you meet will remember your name the next time you run into each other.
Learn African cooking
All our food is made from scratch. That’s why it’s so good. You can take part in the kitchen duties one day if you want to learn some African cooking from Anne-Marie (picture) and Nicole.
A day in the fishing village
The axe is an important tool in the boatyard in Kafountine, where large pirogues are built. A boat is a major investment, and the pride of the owner shows itself in the fabulous colorful decorations.
Rice harvest
When you hear singing, laughter and drums from the rice paddies you know the women have started cutting rice. You’re welcome to a chat and maybe have a try at cutting some rice yourself.
