The migratory birds are certainly not going to be there in Oct but the place still has many birds flying about. Good luck trying to get that perfect landing/departing shot especially if on a pirogue, our boat transportation for last March. By then most of the migratory birds had left. It is a long trip from St Louis but the place is a World Heritage Site, another incentive to visit. Other animals will be seen but they are secondary to the birds.

Le Parc du Djoudj est fermé jusqu'en octobre. Les bonnes périodes pour visiter : Novembre à mi avril. Ne pas se contenter de la balade en pirogue et impérativement faire également la piste qui mène aux observatoires du grand lac. Tarifs 5.000 fcfa/pers./jour , 10.000/ jour pour la voiture. 4.000 par personne pour la pirogue et 6.000/j pour le guide obligatoire. En fait bien cher pour ce que font la plupart des visiteurs : seulement un tour d'une heure et demi au nichoir des pélicans..

I am not sure whether the park is open suring this time as it is not the season for the birds from the northern hemisphere to migrate. The best person to ask is the chief guide there Idrissa Ndiaye. He is fantastic and very knowledgeable about everything to do with the park. Google him and you can make contact. He can answer all your questions and make some arrangememts also. Kind regards Dianne

I would recommend visiting the park. But you would need to find out if it is closed at this time of year. The best person to ask is the principal guide Idrissa Ndiaye.

Hello Jeanne. I would say September and October would be quite hot. And maybe not so many birds because they tend to come down from Europe during the northern winter. The best person for you to ask is Mr Idrissa Ndiaye He is the chief guide and a world renowned authority. He was the guide we had for 2 days and I can recommend him greatly. His contact Tel. +221 77 405 40 33 Postal is B.P. 80, Saint Louis, Senegal. He can answer all your questions, make recommendations and make arrangements as well. Do visit Djoudj .. it's a grand place as is Saint Louis. Regards Dianne

The timing should be good for early migrants from Europe, if water levels are ok. Sorry I cannot give any info on prices.
