Guided trip
Hi, My name is Silvia from Soul Sync Discoveries. A little piece of my heart was left in Senegal when I visited 6 years ago. The trip was short, and even though I never got to do a lot of sightseeing or connect with the locals, it was impactful enough for me to spend the past few years creating a travel vision board and researching on places around Dakar that I would like to see, and things I would love to do. I am looking forward to exploring Dakar - the cultural pulse of Senegal - rich in culture and a scenic city full of vibrant arts and crafts with you. A must-add bucket-list country for anyone looking to travel in Africa. Senegal is a land of warmth, vibrancy, and color, where the sun-drenched beaches meet the bustling markets, and the rhythms of the music fill the air. From the lively streets of Dakar to the tranquil banks of the Senegal River, this is a country that captivates the senses and stirs the soul. With its rich cultural heritage, stunning natural beauty, and warm and welcoming people, Senegal is a destination like no other. Whether you want to explore the ancient ruins, marvel at the wildlife in its nature reserves, or simply relax on its sandy beaches, Senegal is sure to leave an indelible mark on your heart. So come and experience the magic of Senegal for yourself - you won't be disappointed! My vision is to offer life-changing social travel opportunities to adventurous individuals or groups keen to explore our amazing world while making new friends and networking along the way.
