— Our perspective
Senegal, at a human scale.
Our reading of the country, after thirty years of organising it.
A crossroads country: 17 ethnic groups, 4 great natural regions, 700 km of Atlantic coast. And a Wolof word we try to honour every day — téranga, hospitality.
Cultural diversity
Wolof, Serer, Fula, Diola, Mandinka, Bassari… A mosaic that meets every day.
West African crossroads
Beyond Senegal: Gambia, Mali, Guinea, Mauritania, Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana — our corresponding offices open the whole sub-region.
Six welcome languages
FR, EN, IT, DE, ES, JA — our guides speak the one that puts you at ease.
— The agency
Africa Connection Tours, since 1996.
Receptive tour operator founded in Dakar by Senegalese entrepreneurs from the major houses of international tourism. A permanent team trained in Europe and the United States, welcoming travellers in six languages, and a network of corresponding offices in six West African countries.

— Why us
Why choose ACT.
We don't make the flashiest trip. We make the one we're proud of, that our partners are proud of, and that you'll still talk about in ten years.
— 01
Our guides are at home here.
Born here, trained here. Mamadou has known the Saloum bolongs since childhood, Awa tells Gorée like a family story — because it is.
— 02
A trip, not a product.
We don't sell checkboxes. We listen, we adjust, we remove what doesn't make sense. A 5 am programme — no, unless you want to see the fishermen leave.
— 03
The trip's money stays here.
Guest houses, neighbourhood restaurateurs, direct artisan trade. 78% of what you pay stays in the Senegalese economy.
— Diaspora
A return to roots, done with heart.
For those descended from this land, Gorée is not a stop. It's a moment. We accompany you with patience — your questions, your silences, your pace. Our guides have welcomed entire families on memory pilgrimages.
- Genealogical research with local partners (on request)
- Traditional village welcome ceremony

What they take away.
"Non ho mai incontrato tutte insieme affidabilità, preparazione, gentilezza, garbo e disponibilità 24 ore su 24. Tornerò in Senegal, perché mi ha fatto amare questa terra come non mi era mai successo in nessuna parte del mondo."

"Our guide was fantastic! Patient and knowledgeable — we could not have had a better guide. We also loved our driver Moussa, and all the hotels were great, especially LaMantin. My daughter and I had a wonderful time and did not have to worry about anything. I will certainly recommend your company to anyone planning a trip to Africa!"
