Maison créole avec jardin — Ouakam village
Your host, Ibrahima
A Ngor fisherman, like my father before me. I take the pirogue out at five and I am back by eleven, so if you want fish for lunch, tell me the day before. I have been renting out the family house since my daughters left to study. I do not speak English, but my nephew does, and he lives two doors down.
- The dish I cook best
- Le thiof braisé au four à charbon, avec du riz et des oignons. Je l'achète à onze heures sur la plage, on le mange à quatorze.
- My favourite corner of the neighbourhood
- Le bout de la plage du village, du côté de l'île, à six heures du soir quand les pirogues rentrent et que les gamins jouent au foot sur le sable dur.
- What teranga means to me
- C'est simple : personne ne repart de chez moi sans avoir mangé. Même si vous êtes arrivé à minuit, il y aura quelque chose sur le feu.
- What I always recommend
- Prenez la pirogue pour l'île de Ngor le matin, pas l'après-midi : la mer est plate et vous aurez la plage de derrière pour vous.
- My first guest
- Un couple de Bordeaux, en 2022. Ils sont revenus trois fois depuis et le mari sait maintenant réparer un filet.
Creole-style two-bedroom with a bougainvillea garden, minutes from Mamelles beach.

Getting there
From AIBD: 52 km, 1 h to 1 h 15 on the motorway then the VDN. From the Plateau: 13 km, 25 min on a clear road, 50 min at peak times; taxi 2,500-4,000 CFA. The Ouakam road and the VDN are served by buses and minibuses; the Almadies are 10 min away, Mermoz 15, the western corniche 5. The way down to the village and the mosque is a narrow, steep road where passing is awkward: park at the top if you are unsure, and mind the currents at the beach, which has no lifeguard.
