Phoenix Rose Trek

Day 2 of our trek done!! The desert was a bit hotter today with some massif dunes to climb, but we made it back before dark today! (Well 15 mins before… 😉) We hiked through eucalyptus forests, long sand dunes, savanah… all with spectacular views. As we finished the day we were spoiled with a beautiful sunset over the sand. Feeling great and more confident in orienting ourselves with our compass!

Day 1 of our trek, done ✅!! We took our time and found all the our mapped markers in the dunes and savanah! We left at 7:45am and got back in the dark with our headlamps at 8:00pm! Long day, dirty legs and tired but still feeling good! Now, we are getting ready for tomorrow!

Our first day in Senegal! We went for a boat ride of the lagoon in Somone, visited the maze of the market in Mbour and the fisherman’s arrival/fish market. Good thing we had a guide to help us navigate!!
