Activities
drumming and dance, scoot trips through salt flats and baobab country, fishing and bird-watching, wildlife reserves and cultural excursions, and just about every water sport imaginable.
The right combination
Somone lends itself to a wide variety of activities. An expansive beach leads to the lagoon, which is surrounded by miles of salt flats that eventually give way to red earth and ancient baobabs. Unlike Saly and other towns further south, Somone backs up to 700 hectares of protected nature. Just north of us, there is another reserve in Popenguine. The entire area is renowned for its birdlife.
The natural setting pairs well with Somone's location on the Petite-Cote. In the immediate area, from Somone to Ngaparou and down to Saly, there is a steady stream of workshops and cultural events to take part in. Going the other direction, we are a stone's throw from the coastal towns of Popenguine and Toubab Dialaw — the latter renowned for drumming and dance, and the arts in general. Further south, it is a manageable drive to Joal Fadiouth and the Sine-Saloum delta.
