Fathala Reserve

Discover the place

Experience the rare thrill of walking with lions in the heart of the Saloum forest.

Fathala is a 2,000-hectare wildlife reserve in southern Senegal, set within a much larger protected forest near the Saloum Delta.

Its celebrated lion walk is available in only a handful of places worldwide. Visitors can also encounter antelopes, zebras, buffalo and giraffes among savannah and baobabs.
