M’bour
Considered to be the biggest city on the “Petite Côte”, M’bour is home to the second largest fishing port in Senegal and you can immerse yourself in the local culture and watch the fishermen arrive with their day’s catch. We recommend visiting the market and taking a stroll on the pedestrian path around M’bour’s ecological reserve.

Covert Cocktail Club
Covert Cocktail Club
multi-city
Once upon a time in 2016, Matt Levy, founder of Covert Cocktail Club, hosted a secret speakeasy as an intimate place for strangers to gather in his home. The only way to find out about it was via word of mouth. No address was given, the only clue being a sign placed in the window, “Cocktails Here”. A lot of people thought it was pretty cool, even before The New York Times wrote about it. But that was all pre-pandemic, and this is a new era. Liberated from the confines of a single location, Covert Cocktail Club now brings the speakeasy right to your door—be it at your home, office, bar mitzvah, dinner party, bachelor/ette party or anywhere you choose!
