Senegal, February 2025. Birds on Mar Lodj

On the island Mar Lodj there is no electricity, there are no roads, no cars. Traffic between the three small villages and the mainland is by boat and by horse-drawn carts. The Campement Bazouk de Saloum is run by Marie and Philippe, a French couple, who manage to create European comfort and standard seemingly effortless: there is solar electricity, there is water in the desert, there is French cuisine and a friendly, competent staff. It is such a pleasure to spend almost two weeks without having to get into a car!
