All on-site meals are included in your retreat package; off-site meals are not. Many of our meals will be eaten communally as the practice is customary in African cultures including Senegal. The majority of our meals will include a number of traditional Senegalese dishes. Please let us know if you need us to provide vegetarian variations when possible; we will do our best to accommodate you.
TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS
We recommend traveling via JFK (New York) via Delta Airlines or Air Senegal, which offer a direct flight to Senegal’s airport (DSS), which is a few short minutes from the Tangor Guest House. Of course, you may consider other airlines, including Air France, Tap Portugal, Air Maroc, who fly into Dakar with a range of layover locations, including CDG or Casablanca, respectively. However, these routes have longer layovers.
Of course, we are certainly happy to make arrangements to accommodate you for an additional night should you chose to arrive on a day early or depart a day later.
GROUND TRANSPORTATION
Of course, we will meet you at the airport when you arrive and provide you with transportation back to the airport at the time of your departure.
