Tourism in Senegal

Cap Skirring the destination for in love ones with nature and sporting fishing on the arms of the sea.

 What it is necessary to know  

The arms of the sea of the Casamance river which one calls (bolongs), curve the islands of the Casamance river by forming a true labyrinth. The fish enter by the mouth of the river to nourish itself. You can fish there without problem but attention, if you do not make a point of sleeping accompanied by mosquitos, and moutmouts, we strongly advise you not to venture you on antiquated boats with old engines, and without material of safety. Do not only leave, take a guide knowing perfectly the places, you would be likely to lose you in Bolongs. You ensure that it is life jackets there, a first-aid kit, take your portable, a knife, a large bath towel, a solar protection of mineral water and often drink.

 Dangerous fishing in Senegal !

For some time, we see appearing on Internet new centers of fishing in the zone of Cape skirring attention, we note that they do not know large-thing, and take large risks because they propose fishing at sea in January, February, the most dangerous months!. Other centers of fish practice in edge of the border of Guinea-Bissau, still fragile zone. To date the Katakalousse hotel, is the only center recognized on the zone of Cape skirring which has all the compulsory insurances and licenses tourist for your safety and they know where you must fish.

Your hotel Attention!!

the cuts of run are very very frequent in Casamance. It is not rare to have cuts of more than 4 hours seeing much more.

Ask whether the hotel has a generator which supports the air-conditioning of the rooms because we guarantee to you that if you come in period from October to December you will not sleep.  Ask a room air-conditioned with medical and warm water. If you practice fishing, ask a boat with a good roof and not a parasol you will always have the head with the sun. And most important, ask whether the boats are on the spot that will avoid you typing you 15 km before soaking a line in Bolongs and the return is always painful in end-of-day.

 Sporting fishing at sea

The coastal area of Cape skirring is very famous for its beachcombers caused by the sand banks. every year, they crash to pieces many boats the year2005 was particularly sad for certain tourists and paddlers. We formally disadvise to you leaving to fish of December 15th at sea, at May 10th. However, if you are very careful, you will be able to make coastal drag, with two hundred meters of the beach in period of June, July, October and November. During the rain season, the ocean is much calmer, but are wary nevertheless of the gusts of wind caused by the storms. The boats must have an insurance policy and a radio.
