Two of the lodge's seven huts look out on the pool. They are single-story, fan-cooled huts, with their own shower room and toilet, and a small private courtyard in front of the door. Wi-Fi is free, right into the hut; there is no air conditioning or TV. This is the hut for families with children, who can keep an eye on the pool from the courtyard.

Three options to choose from: room only, a night with continental breakfast served from 8:00 to 10:30, or half board, which adds lunch or dinner of local cuisine, served on the terrace facing the mangrove. Garden, bar, free parking and daily housekeeping round it all off. Check-in from 14:00 to 22:00, check-out at 11:00.

Nearby. The lodge is in Simal, in the municipality of Fimela, on a bolong of the Sine Saloum delta. Ndangane and its pirogues to Mar Lodj are to the south, Joal-Fadiouth on the road to the Petite Côte. From Dakar, allow about three hours' drive.

Things to do from your hut. A pirogue trip on the bolong, a visit to the village by horse-drawn cart, a quad bike ride on the tracks or a day on the islands of the delta. All these activities can be booked on Senegal Activities.
