About
The Holy City of Touba is very dear to the people of Senegal . It is the city of Mouridism ,and the burial place of its founder , Cheikh Ahmadou Bàmba Mbàke .
After Touba , clients will journey on to the gorgeous Lompoul Desert 145k south of Saint Louis for incredible activities such as camel trekking , sand dune buggies , and much more. During spring time the “ Festival du Sahel” takes places at the Limpopo desert . It’s the opportunity to showcase the region’s culture and music . Another great reason to go !!

About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- BrandyDaviss0 contributionsTerrible Scammers who disappeared on me.Very unprofessional service. This lady and her Senegalese husband scammed me for over $1,000. They aren’t registered in Senegal and have no legal tourism or travel service documents. When I asked for specifics they blocked me and now Im refused a refund with no way to contact them or hold them accountable. Don’t waste your money. There are other better your services in Senegal.Written June 19, 2022
- Keishajones770 contributionsBest trip we've taken!!First of all I want to say that my family & I will definitely be coming back next year to use this same travel company. We've been to Senegal once before without the kids & we we're overpriced. Which apparently happens quite often to first time visitors. So this time I made sure I booked our tour guide with great caution. After comparing prices with this company & the others there, I found this one to tremendously beat the others. But then when it comes to the service. My husband says it honestly can't be compared to any other tour guide experience we've had. I'd have to agree. They were very kind & very knowledgable. Had plenty of ideas & activities for us to do with & without the kids. They were even quick to respond to our questions & concerns we had. Meeting with Abdou was like meeting with an old friend. You can just feel when a person is genuinely happy to do what they're doing & that's what we felt from him. Thank you so much Makaya Travels. My family looks forward to having your exceptional service again soon.Written November 23, 2019

All I can say he that is is a Great Tour Guide and I will sure have him again when I come back next year. Thanks again Abdou, you are the Best. Much Love.Written November 19, 2019
