Maison d'hôtes près de l'océan — Yoff

Your host, Awa

Host since 2022

My family has harvested salt on the north shore for three generations; I run the camp, six rooms and a mango tree. I am up at six for the bread, and I can take you to see the harvest before the coaches from Dakar arrive. In the evening there is nobody left but us, the birds and the dogs.

The dish I cook best
Le poulet yassa avec du riz et un peu de sel du lac, celui que ma mère met de côté avant que les camions ne passent.
My favourite corner of the neighbourhood
La crête de dune entre le lac et l'océan, à sept heures du matin. On voit les deux eaux en même temps et on n'entend rien.
What teranga means to me
Donner ce qu'on a sans faire d'histoires. Si vous arrivez à quinze heures affamé, on ne vous demandera pas si vous avez réservé le repas.
What I always recommend
Dormez une nuit au lieu de venir à la journée. Entre dix-sept heures et neuf heures, le lac ne ressemble à aucune photo que vous avez vue.

Getting there

From AIBD: 53 km, 1 h to 1 h 20 on the motorway then the VDN and the Yoff road. From the Plateau: 15 km, 30 min on a clear road, an hour at peak times; taxi 3,000-4,000 CFA. Dakar Dem Dikk buses serve Yoff via the airport road and the VDN. The Almadies are 10 min away, Ngor 5, Mermoz 20. Inside the village many lanes are sandy and unsurfaced: an ordinary taxi will drop you at the edge of the quarter, not at the door.
