About
Bandia Wildlife Reserve is a private nature reserve on the Route de Sindia in Bandia, Senegal. It is also known locally as the Réserve de Bandia. The reserve is set up for visitors who want to see African wildlife in a natural habitat without travelling far into the bush.
What you can see
The reserve is home to a range of African animals, including giraffes, rhinos and several kinds of antelope. Because the animals roam an open natural landscape, a visit is often about watching them move, feed and rest in their own surroundings.
Is it worth a visit?
Bandia is best suited to a day trip, and it is a popular choice for travellers who want a shorter wildlife outing alongside other plans. It works well for families and for anyone who would like to see a variety of large animals in one place.
