Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 994gerberv0 contributionsExploring Senegal with a Friendly and Knowledgeable GuideExploring Senegal with Sogui as our guide was an absolute delight, and I highly recommend him. Traveling with my family, including our young child, was such a great experience because of Sogui's friendly nature and professionalism. He made sure everyone felt comfortable and welcome. Sogui speaks perfect English, so communication was super easy. He's incredibly knowledgeable about Senegalese culture and wildlife, especially birds. Every trip was filled with interesting stories and facts, making it a fun and educational experience for all of us. Whether we were exploring the bustling cities or the peaceful wilderness, Sogui's passion for his country really shone through. He's dedicated to making sure his guests have a fantastic time. If you're planning to explore Senegal, I highly recommend having Sogui as your guide.Written July 9, 2024
- Forklift0 contributionsAbsolute professionalSogui was very knowledgeable, polite well organised and efficient. From start to finish an excellent trip. There was always flexibility on the trip and no hurry.Written July 1, 2024
- Getaway114315199260 contributionsPrivate birdwatching tour: great!We booked a private birdwatching tour, partly at land, partly on a small boat. Sogui learned all the information about the birds by himself. He knows a lot about birds and is very enthusiastic. Speaks English very well. Despite of the dry landscape and a not finished building area, there were a lot of beautiful birds to see. We enjoyed it very muchWritten December 24, 2023
- kramester10 contributionsSogui was a great tour guideSogui was very quick to respond to messages and willing to work with you to create a tour for your needs. When we had to delay for a day due to illness, he was very accommodating to work a plan that fit the time we had. Car was comfortable, driver was very good. Sogui also definitely knows birds and the best places to see them. Recommend Sogui if you want a bird tour in Senegal.Written November 3, 2023
- Peter S0 contributionsSogui at his bestNovember 2018 we, two couples, travelled through Senegal for an ample 3 weeks. Although our main aim was birding, we expressly also wanted to get to know the country and its people. So we travelled far and wide, and visited nature reserves and cities alike. Sogui was our guide during this trip. He did his best to make our stay as pleasant as possible, trying to accommodate our wishes and improvising when needed. But he was also a proud Senegalese, keen to show us his country, the bright sides, such as during an impromptu visit along the road to an elementary school chock full of children who welcomed us with a song; but also the not so bright sides, such as when he showed us an obviously poor fishing village where children live among the boats and garbage, with no indication of any schooling being available to them. Such an attitude, which not just seeks to please tourists but also shows them the country for what it really is, is rare among guides. But it makes your stay unique, in that you meet a lot of people and find yourself in a lot of situations that give you ample pause for thought. That way, tourism becomes an enriching experience, not just a pass time. If this is the kind of experience you seek, learning to know the county and its people, then Sogui is your man. And on top of that, he is good company!Written July 27, 2019

Very beautifully located safari park with many wild animals and very friendly staff as well as the lion migration which offers a unique opportunity to deal with such animals
