Welcome to TinTing
The House on the Hilltop

TinTing is perfectly located between the beach and the paddy fields. At night you fall asleep to the roar of the ocean, and in the morning you wake up to the song of the birds in the forest. The areas surrounding the camp inspire you to take nice walks – the shortest of which could be to a hammock in between the trees, to the beach or to the campfire at night. But we have lots of other exciting longer excursions on offer as well.

FOOD FROM THE OCEAN AND THE GARDEN

We are dedicated to good food! You will enjoy three meals a day, made from local and mostly ecological products. For breakfast we serve fresh juice from orange, baobab or other fruits, fresh fish directly from “our” river, beans and vegetables from our vegetable garden. Everything is made from scratch, and we also serve wine and Senegalese beer.
OFF THE BEATEN TRACK

It takes only ten minutes to stroll over to the beach. If you’re lucky, you will see the monkeys by the river before they vanish into the mangroves, or maybe you say hello to a fisherman on his way home. This is an Africa you will never forget, especially because of the people you meet.
ENDLESS BEACHES

Senegal is famous for its beautiful beaches. You can bask in the waves, walk or bike along the ocean to other villages, and the beach is a dream come true for joggers. Take a break from the hot sun at the village inn Tilibo Horizon or newcomer Oslo Bar, recently established by local youths.

[soliloquy id=”4558″]
The veranda by the Red Kitchen is also the dining room. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are usually served here. The kitchen is Nicole Sagna’s domaine. Even though much of the food is cooked on a gas stove, she also likes to cook over a fire in the outdoor kitchen.
TINA'S HOUSE
[soliloquy id=”4562″]
Tina’s House was built during the fall of 2016 and is named for our dog Tina after she gave birth to nine puppies in the bushes right outside the house. The house has three rooms with double beds and a single bed, and each room has its own veranda. The house is a little off to itself on the property.
