If you want, and you feel like it, these might be our route plan for the trip in Casamance:
First day: Departure from the Gare Routier of Ziguinchor in local taxi set-places direction Oussouye (we will try to travel and eat the most similar way Senegalese do). Arrival at Oussouye and accommodation at the Hostel du Routard run by a Senegalese family Diola Casa, a traditional impluvium. Lunch in a local road restaurant and trip to Mlomp to visit the Diola Casa and Animist culture Museum. Dinner at the hostel.
Second Day: Fishing day at the mangrove swamp with African people. Picnic on board. Dinner at the hostel.
Third day: Trip by bicycle to the Siganar bridge. Luch in a road restaurant and free afternoon. Depending on season and travellers’ priorities we might organize a course to learn climbing palm trees traditionally, go and plant rice or seek an audience to the king Sibilumbaye.
Fourth day: Trip to Cap Skirring. Accommodation in hostel by the sea. Beach and shopping day.
Fifth day: Trip to Kafountine and accomodation at the literacy teaching school. Walk around Kafountine. Dinner of African pizza. In the evening, depending of activities offered by local establishments, we might attend a djembé concert or maybe a Senegalese traditional fight...
Sixth day: Visit to the fishing port: the area of shipment and unloading of fishing, the smoked sector... Walk along the beach and bath in the Atlantic. Lunch at hotel Mama María. Free afternoon. Dinner at the village or at the literacy teaching school.
Seventh day: We may choose between a fishing day on board of a typical canoe (this means being at the port first thing in the morning) or rent a bicycle at the school and discover the richness of the natural environment. Lunch at the school restaurant. Free afternoon.
Eight day: Trip to Ziguinchor.
