Holiday Rentals in Toubakouta

What a wonderful place, the hosts Gilles and Céline are so welcoming and can get so many trips organized, with professional guidance, after so many years living there. Only 4 rooms, so small scale personalized operation, and excellent home cooking! Good interaction with locals in the village.

Great guesthouse/B&B in Toubacouta in a very peaceful and quiet village. Rooms are totally comfortable and nicely designed, and the meal that I ate here was excellent. I only stayed two nights, but would have been happy to stay on an another to take a tour through the mangroves. The owners Celine and Gilles were very friendly and it was great to speak with them over dinner. They also offered some recommendations for future stops on my trip, since I had done almost no planning before coming to Senegal.

We wanted a cheap base for exploring (what we thought was) a hub for tourism in this part of Senegal. The guest house is on the outskirts of a very small village, with little to do. There are two larger hotels, which offer some activities and tours, but we simply payed for a bed to sleep in, and got nothing more.

The staff member I met was extremely friendly and helpful. Even though I cannot speak French he did his best to help me plan my onward journey (thank you!) The place itself is very nice and the rooms really clean. wifi worked well and it’s easy to explore the village from here.
