An Educational & Cultural Journey for

K–12 Teachers Dakar & Saly, Senegal

Why Senegal?

Just an 8-hour flight from the U.S. transports you to the heart of West Africa—Senegal, often referred to as the "Doorway to Africa." This vibrant, culturally rich country offers a unique blend of professional growth and unforgettable adventure. Whether you’re walking through centuries of history or relaxing on the beach, this journey is both a meaningful educational experience and a rejuvenating escape.

Begin your adventure at the African Renaissance Monument, a towering 170-foot bronze statue that symbolizes strength, unity, and the future of the continent. Dive into Senegalese cuisine, during our Welcome lunch, and enjoy dishes infused with bold spices and tradition—flavors so memorable you’ll find yourself wanting more. You’ll be welcomed with warmth by locals dressed in colorful boubous, eager to share their stories, music, and hospitality.

Spend 3 days in Saly, a coastal haven where golden beaches invite you to unwind. Enjoy that much needed break from teaching. From here, we will go on a morning safari to observe West African wildlife in its natural surroundings—a perfect balance of leisure and discovery. The next part of our tour will take us to Dakar for four nights. This is Senegal’s vibrant capital, where modern city life pulses with rhythm and color. Explore bustling markets filled with the aroma of grilled meats, fresh mangoes, and handcrafted treasures, while music and conversation echo from every corner.

As part of the tour’s educational focus, you’ll visit a renowned museum in Dakar, tracing the country’s journey from colonial history to contemporary culture. Even more impactful, you’ll engage with local educators in Senegalese schools, exchanging ideas on curriculum, teaching methods, and classroom culture. These conversations offer rare insight into global education and will empower you to return home with fresh strategies and cross-cultural perspective.

A highlight of the trip is the visit to Gorée Island, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Once one of West Africa’s largest slave trading centers between the 15th and 19th centuries, the island today is a place of solemn remembrance and enduring hope—an experience that will move and transform you.

This isn’t just a vacation—it’s professional and personal enrichment. You’ll gain global insight, form connections with colleagues, and reflect on the shared mission of education worldwide.

Join us this April for a one-of-a-kind journey created especially for K–12 educators—a perfect blend of cultural immersion, classroom inspiration, and rejuvenating adventure. By the time you return, you'll know the answer without hesitation
