What to expect
Embark on a journey to Gorée Island. Located off the coast of Senegal and facing Dakar, Gorée Island was the largest trading centre on the African coast from the 15th to the 19th century. It has seen Portuguese, Dutch, English and French domination, each leaving their mark on its architecture. The contrast between the sombre slave-quarters and the elegant houses of the slave traders is striking.Your exploration begins with a climb up to Castel via the Baobabs alley, where you'll be rewarded with a view of Dakar from the Memorial of Slaves. Before having lunch, you'll also explore the Senegal Historical Museum.Your journey ends with a visit to the House of the Slaves Museum and the Saint Charles Church. This excursion promises scenic beauty but also a dive into the colonial past of this island.

Our guide Maty, spoke excellent English. She was friendly, knowledgeable and fun. The tour of the slave house was very moving and sad to think of how the people suffered. The island of Goree is very pretty, and a lovely place to visit. Negative, we waited over an hour at the port waiting for the ferry, which wasn't so good. The market selleres are RELENTLESS! Some catch the same ferry, and start their patter then. So say NO to the market stop, or be prepared for hassle!

Ein sehr langer, aber sehr informativer Tag. Wir haben viel gelernt und wurden sehr gut geführt. Auch das Essen war sehr gut. Aber die lange Zeit im Verkehr Dakars hat es schließlich sehr ermüdend gemacht.

Ik ben zowieso fan van Africa. Maar nu serieus, de geschiedenis is indrukwekkend en emotioneel. De Guide was vriendelijk en behulpzaam en had wel kennis. Dat stel ik altijd op prijs.

le plus : l'histoire de l'île même si ce n'est pas la plus belle histoire ,l'île est belle et plaisante . Le moins : les vendeurs sénégalais qui font la traversée pour la vente ,parfois ********** accrocheur ,mais c'est comme cela .
