Visit of Zebrabar on Easter Vacations with Family Members!

We visited Zebrabar, a charming place, which invites to excursion and discoveries. Located about 20 kilometers off Saint Louis, Zebrabar is an oasis of peace and kids friendly vacation spot in Senegal. Its proximity to the Langue de Barbarie National Park and "Isles aux Oiseaux" makes it an attractive campground for parents with children and a place of encounter with nature. The place combines birds’ park, white sand beaches, salt water for surfing, fishing, and fresh water for kayaking and windsurfing, and a people friendly and welcoming community. Zebrabar, own by a Swiss couple, is built on the shoreline of the Senegal River. In the early afternoon, the Senegal River displays one of the most beautiful exhibitions that nature graciously offers. The dance and singing of the birds, the green and blue Langue de Barbarie National Park in the background, and the sunset on display on the Senegal River make it the most complete painting board and natural opera scene that I've ever seen. This place is a delight for bird watchers and nature lovers.

Zebrabar's layout, logging, and furniture are minimal but the bungalows are clean and appropriately

decorated. Kayaks, windsurf boards, and fire pits are provided free of charge. However, the food and beverage services did not match our expectation. But if you know in advance, you can lower your expectation or bring your own food supply. Nevertheless, we found it was an affordable place to spend a few days with children. I highly recommend Zebrabar.

Come and join me for a quick tour.
