SENEGAL ~ Bandia Nature Reserve ~

...  Lovely views of Bandia wildlife reserve located in the classified forest of Bandia that boasts 500 hectares of baobabs and acacias... it has succeeded in reintroducing much of the marvellous native flora and of some of the most best-known African animals... it’s an amazing experience which gives you a chance to get close to most of these mammals and reptiles (excluding predators) and watch beautiful bird species... visitors can get around the reserve in a private car or in the reserve’s own safari trucks which can be hired on site... a visit of the park is worthwhile for every nature lover... Big Thanks Gian Luca and Raffaella!!ヽ(ヅ)ノ Must have been a fantastic holdiay!😊👍

The Bandia Reserve is a small nature reserve located 65 km from Dakar in North Senegal. The area of this reserve is 3500 hectares and fully fenced. Created in 1990,  Bandia is privately-owned conservation park, which takes good care of the animals and their reproduction.

In addition to the fauna and flora, visitors can also see replicas of Serere pyramids with burial chambers, griot (traditional story tellers and entertainers) tombs in the hollow of a thousand year old baobab containing authentic human bones, a charcoal makers’ grindstone, Peulh huts, etc...
