Celine and Gilles were delightful hosts, always attentive to us. Everyone at Keur Niaye was gracious and highly capable. We especially appreciated Doudou, their guide who took us on several outings. The garden is beautiful, and our room was extremely comfortable. Celine and Gilles were excellent company and fascinating people. Their support for the community in the town of Toubakouta is admirable and added greatly to our experience there.

The hosts were welcoming, charming, and genuinely wanted to tend to our needs. The courtyard is beautifully maintained and lovely to look at. Gilles puts birdseed out in the morning so we can enjoy the beautiful birds of the area. Breakfast was phenomenal with Celine providing homemade jams and local honey as special treats

We arrived to a garden oasis full of colorful birds and flowers and were greeted by an absolute gem of a woman, Celine.  Not only is she an incredible cook but she is extremely well connected to the natural world of the Sine Saloum delta and the local Toubacouta community.  Everything you eat and enjoy is made locally or on site.  Lodgings were very comfortable.  The excursions were worth every franc, we were truly blown away by the places she took us and the knowledge of her local guides.  She and her husband give generous support the local school children so staying here you are helping in their efforts.  Left feeling like we learned so much and made a true friend.

Celine and Giles were charming hosts, genuinely engaged in the local community with a deep respect for the people they work with and the environment. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and the trips we did. The food was delicious, and the fact we all sat around the same table for breakfast and dinner made it very sociable. The garden is beautiful, with no need to go very far for birdwatching. We have such fond memories of our stay

Celine, Gilles and their team create a warm welcome in their family-run guesthouse. My room was spacious and beautifully designed. Celine is a fantastic chef and you can enjoy delicious breakfast and dinner in the garden. Thanks for the chats, I very much enjoyed learning about the life in Toubakouta!

What a wonderful place, the hosts Gilles and Céline are so welcoming and can get so many trips organized, with professional guidance, after so many years living there. Only 4 rooms, so small scale personalized operation, and excellent home cooking! Good interaction with locals in the village.

Keur Naiye was very charming, Celine, Gilles and Dou Dou could not have been more helpful and welcoming; For reasonable prices, excursions can be arranged. Our highlights- Gilles and Dou Dou took us out on the Salom for a wonderful afternoon and evening, we walked, swam, visited shell Island and the village of Sipo and watched the birds come to rest as the sun was setting. Celine organised transport for us to visit Fathala reserve and kayakking on our last morning. Celine is a very good cook and we particularly enjoyed sharing our evening meal together with our hosts. Breakfast was also delicious, pancakes with home made Jams and local honey. Our rooms were very comfortable with air conditioning and mosquito nets. We would highly recommend a stay at Keur Naiye
