Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best way to get to Tangor cafe from Dakar, and what should we expect on arrival?

We usually fly into Blaise Diagne International Airport (DSS) and then arrange a private transfer. The drive takes about an hour and a half, and it's a good introduction to the Senegalese landscape. Upon arrival at Tangor cafe, we've always found the welcome warm and genuine, with refreshing drinks and a chance to settle in before exploring the grounds.

While the reserve is a must, we love that Tangor cafe offers more. We recommend their guided walks through local villages to truly understand the culture and daily life. The lodge also organizes cooking classes where you can learn to prepare traditional Senegalese dishes, a truly immersive and delicious experience.

Around Tangor cafe, we've spotted a variety of birdlife, including colorful rollers and kingfishers, especially near the water. While the immediate area is safe for gentle strolls, we always advise sticking to marked paths or going with a lodge guide, particularly if venturing further afield or after dark, to ensure your comfort and safety.

While it's a popular time, it doesn't feel overly crowded, allowing for a more intimate experience.
