Somone Lagoon
All-you-can-eat buffet, pool, private beach. TripAfro's festive day out.
The experience
Somone is 90 kilometres south of Dakar, on the Petite Côte. A protected lagoon, a community nature reserve, and a private beach with a pool just waiting for you.
The Mega Yendou is TripAfro's signature festive day. All-you-can-eat buffet with Senegalese and international dishes, private pool and beach access, entertainment, networking. All included from Dakar. 38,000 FCFA per adult.
The day everyone is waiting for this summer.
The Mega Yendou is not a cultural excursion. It's not an adventure. It's a day of unapologetic pleasure — eat well, swim, dance, enjoy. And TripAfro figured out long ago that this is sometimes exactly what you need most.
The buffet is Senegalese at heart: thiéboudienne, yassa, seasonal dishes, desserts. With real international variety for those with picky children or particular preferences. The pool looks onto the beach. The beach looks onto the Atlantic. And the TripAfro entertainment team takes care of the rest.

Why this trip
Somone is not Saly. That's the whole difference. Saly is the seaside resort developed in the 1980s — hotels, entertainment, infrastructure. Somone has stayed calmer, more authentic, with its protected lagoon classified as a community nature reserve and its beach left un-urbanized.
The Mega Yendou is held in this exact spot because the setting is exceptional. A pool looking onto a beach looking onto the Atlantic. You eat the buffet with a sea view. It's a detail that changes everything.
