Pink Lake & Fulani Village
Take a 45 minutes car drive to the Senegalese version of the Dead-Sea: the Pink Lake. The Lake acquired world fame thanks to its color as well as the annual Paris-Dakar Rally. An important center of cooking salt collection, the pink lake (Retba) is one of the most visited places in Senegal. It owes its color to a high concentration of minerals and the presence of tiny micro-organisms.The color changes because of the intensity of sun rays.
Later, visit Fulani village, home to the second largest ethnic group in Senegal.
Meet with village chief and take pictures with family and compounds.
Go on a 4 wheel-drive to see salt collectors harvesting salt from the lake, putting it in small boats, taking it to the shore, and piling it up.
