Nature is mesmerising. This pink lake reminded me of that. 😍🔥 I recommend taking a tour. Touch the water, feel it’s consistence. Buy sand paintings from Picasso and check the jewellery and mask shops around.

(Translated by Google) I think that it is a highly dangerous place if you last more than 10 minutes in it, since it has a high salt content, however beautiful it is it is dangerous. (Original) Yo opino que es un lugar altamente peligroso si duras más de 10 minutos metido en el, ya que tiene un alto contenido en sal, por más bonito que sea es peligroso.

nice place to visit

Nice lake, we were really lucky to see the pink colour in January, but the women, who try to sell juwelry between the shop area and the salt harvesting are really enoying. When you buy from one you have to buy from all of them and they want 40.000 CFA for ugly plastic necklaces. They will not accept a NO for an answer. Just keep walking and don't even look!I've enjoyed that place with a good view on the lake. I've wanted to see people that are extracting salt but my time of visit was not the good one. Our cab driver (which we got randomly off the streets of Dakar) took us to his friend's tour company and when we tried to shop around, we were pressured into buying a tour instead. He quoted us $60 per person, we got it down to $40 and I still have no idea if that was a good deal. We were there in July so the late was not red as it is when the algae is present in Jan/Feb but we got to see the workers getting the salt, drove in an open top jeep around the lake to the villages and ocean and back to the village. We ate lunch at a restaurant and went out on a boat to see the lake from the water. It was a fine experience but know what you're getting into.yes there are people out there in the salt water. lots of seller. the ride around was great. the lake is amaing

Nice really Pink lake. Howkers will hunt you to propose an excursion on the lake for few bucks.

Lake Retba, Senegal 🇸🇳 Lake Retba (Lac Rose) is Senegal's rose(pink) lake. This lake is is seperated from the Atlantic Ocean by only a few narrow dunes. Lake Retba has a very high salt content, it has more salt than the Dead Sea. The lake's pink color comes from a type of bacteria attracted to the lake because of its salt content. The lake is very small in size, it is only 3 square kilometers. On the shores of Lake Retba you will see huge mountains of salt piled on top of each other that sat and collected, Senegal gets lots of its salt from this lac(lake).

caught mysterious infection and lost two toes.

Actually the Pink colour of the Lake is attributed to the presence of Red Algae which in other words means Death of the Water Body ( Lake) . The high concentration of salt ( more than 3 times the usual sea water) make it difficult for any life (fish or any other creatures) to survive and gradually this Pink colour will keep on darkening and become Red..and finish!

Very fun but I went there when the lake wasn't pink...so next time i hope I will see it pink😌🤗

Not much to see. It really shouldn’t be one of the sights to see in Senegal. I would go there after many other places.

I was told that this was a normal, FUN, lake, but NOOOO. IT IS PINK. Nobody told me this. How was I supposed to know that this lake was the same color as the flamingo that poked my eye out 7 years ago! PTSD PEOPLE! seriously not okay

Très joli à voir ..

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place, not very pink when we visited it but we were alone quietly. A place to discover and a good walk to share without moderation. (Original) Beau lieu , pas très rose quand on l’a visiter mais on était seuls tranquillement . Un lieu à découvrir et une bonne balade à partager sans modération.

Beautiful place, not too pink when we visited it, but we were alone in silence. A place to discover and a good walk to share without moderation. One of the few natural wonders in the vicinity of Dakar. Regular visitor and recommended to visit just before noon on days of pleasant and clear sky to contemplate the pink color of the water.

(Translated by Google) The pink lake: These lakes are considered one of the most famous mysteries in the modern world and one of the beautiful wonders of the world, as these lakes are distinguished by a beautiful pink or red color, which is due to many reasons, some of which are known to scientists, such as the presence of some algae that give this color to the water and others are still unknown To this day, Among the most famous pink lakes are those near Esperance in western Australia and the pink lake in Dakar, the capital of Senegal, which is characterized by pink in summer and natural color in winter, and the reason for this color is due to the high salt content in it due to its separation from the Atlantic Ocean more than thirty years ago. Make it one of the most famous global areas for tourism in Senegal. (Original) البحيرة الوردية: تعتبر هذه البحيرات من أشهر الألغاز الموجودة في العالم الحديث ومن العجائب الجميلة في العالم، حيث تتميز هذه البحيرات باللون الوردي أو الأحمر الجميل، والذي يعود إلى أسباب كثيرة بعضها معروف لدى العلماء، مثل وجود بعض الطحالب التي تعطي هذا اللون للماء وبعضها الآخر ما زال مجهولاً إلى يومنا هذا، ومن أشهر البحيرات الوردية تلك الموجوة بالقرب من إسبرانس غربي أستراليا والبحيرة الوردية في مدنية دكار عاصمة السنغال والتي تتميز باللون الوردي في الصيف واللون الطبيعي في الشتاء، ويعود السبب في هذا اللون إلى ارتفاع نسبة الأملاح فيها بسبب انفصالها عن المحيط الأطلسي قبل أكثر من ثلاثين عاماً مما جعلها من أشهر المناطق العالمية للسياحة في السنغال.

Lac Rose lies north of the Cap Vert peninsula of Senegal, some 30 km north-east of the capital, Dakar, in northwest Africa. It is named for its pink waters caused by Dunaliella salina algae and is known for its high salt content, up to 40% in some areas. Can we swim ? As with other pink salt lakes in the region, the color could originate from the organisms Dunaliella salina and Halobacteria. Alternatively, its color could be due to halophilic bacteria's that live in Hillier's salt crusts. Either way, the lake is safe for swimming. Source -: Wikipedia

Is the best place

Not pink

water in the lake is pink, its true. An exceptional lake in Africa. Salt is produced here. Women will come with souvenirs.

Lieu magique , sans pollution et paisible.

(Translated by Google) This cool (Original) Ce cool

The color wasnt present, the burbs species had reduced. But it was a great experience in all.

(Translated by Google) Super interesting tourist place. You can do several types of activities. Depending on your tastes, you can take a canoe trip on the lake. On the other hand, it is not recommended to bathe in certain places of the lake because the salinity rate is very high and can cause burns to the body. You can take a camel ride on the sand dunes but there are also quads and cars for hire. The lake has villas and other residences and very quiet relaxation areas. I recommend this place for your weekend excursions far from the pollution of Dakar. (Original) Lieu touristique super interessant. On peut y faire plusieurs types d activités. Selon vos goûts vous pouvez faire une ballade en pirogue sur le lac. Par contre il est déconseillé de se baigner à certains endroits du lac car le taux de salinité est très élevé et peut causer des brûlures au corps. On peut faire une ballade à dos de chameau sur les dunes de sable mais il y a également des quads et des voitures à louer. Le lac dispose des villas et autres résidences et espaces de détente très calme. Je recommande ce lieu pour vos excursions en week-end loin de la pollution de Dakar.

(Translated by Google) Lac Rose is a tourist site, its real name Lac Retba, is one of the most visited sites in Senegal. It is also one of the places that leads you to choose Senegal as your destination of choice. This salt lake owes its fame to the original and changing color of its water, but also to the Paris-Dakar rally of which it was the final stage. (Original) Le lac Rose est site touristique, de son vrai nom lac Retba, est l'un des sites les plus visités du Sénégal.

The water is warm and thick like egg drop soup. Lol. To take a bout ride it's$50 and to take a 4 wheeler across the sand dunes is also $50. The town's people are friendly. Support the local economy.

A must visit place if your in Dakar🌹

Visited at the end of Sept'22. Lake unfortunately wasn't pink & our predetermined place for lunch was underwater. We were going to do a boat tour of the lake, but the sheer deluge/ hassle from Hawkers soured the experience to the extent we returned back to Dakar.

Even if the lake is somewhat nice, you can't enjoy the nature by yourself. You will get approached every 100m by another vendor who will try to sell you a boat tour or some Chinese souvenirs and won't leave you alone even if you politely decline multiple times.

LAKE RETBA = The first lake i saw that is different from the other lake because it has very high salt content of 40% which is much higher than the Dead Sea. The Lake when it has less water during hot and dry seasons the tendency to become pink-red or bubble-gum pink is much higher because of high concentration of these Dunaliella salina red algae that lives in this salty water. But when it is rainy the lake is too much diluted with much water from the rain and no presence of the sun the colour of the lake is normal. Sometimes i see reflections of reddish orange on the shallower part of the lake. Boat riding is one of the unique experience on this lake.

The place is situated just about 35-40 kms from the Senegal's capital city, Dakar. The name comes from the lake's colour, pink. The lake's high salinity enables easy swimming capability. One can experience the salt extraction process by the local Senegalese. Apart from the stunning view of the lake, you can experience the quad bike ride to the adjoing ocean, via sand dunes. One should not miss this ride which is at affordable prices.

Loved my experience and the people!

Beautiful place

Nice area and had a fun ride in an open back 4x4 around the dunes, but check which time of the year it’s actually pink

(Translated by Google) Take a walk around the lake as it is best to see the salt collectors on its shore. It is the largest salt exploration in West Africa. In addition to this, you can take a canoe ride on the lake or bathe to float without moving a muscle. The pink color is produced by a microalga called Dunaliella salina. The time when it is with a more intense pink is during the dry season. If you go in the rainy season (from July to October) you will hardly be able to see some pink reflections. (Original) Dar una vuelta por el lago ya que lo mejor es ver a los recolectores de sal en su orilla. Es la exploración de sal más grande de África Occidental. Además de esto se puede dar una vuelta en canoa por el lago o bañarse para flotar sin mover un músculo. El color rosa lo produce una micro alga llamada Dunaliella salina. La época en la que está con un rosa más intenso es durante la temporada seca. Si vais en época de lluvias ( de julio a octubre) apenas podréis ver unos reflejos de color rosa.

The navigator the pirogue was really super nice. it was really very quiet very relaxing and very pleasant (Original) Lac pas totalement Rose quand j'y ai été, mais de beau reflet rose bien visible selon les rayons de soleil. cependant la balade en pirogue, voir le ramassage de kilos de sel dans l'eau, ce lieu est si reposant!

Amazing lake

Oh my gosh, beautiful place had the experience of floating in the lake ... We caught it off season the first time I visited Senegal Africa. The history behind the lake shows how great God is.

Beautiful scenery and lots of outdoor activities

I have never been in Dakar, but I have done my homework about it over the internet especially, on Google and I have found it very interesting. Thank you for helping.

Ideal

One of the must see places. The lake and it’s story is very interesting and the community that has developed around the lake are super knowledgeable. As a tip, if you are driving in, avoid the first touts you see. Go all the way up to the lake and fine your own guide.

Let's preserve Pink Lake

If you love pink lakes, you will love this lake. It is not too vibrant but nobody cares. It is very good at housing beaches as well. If you want more pink lakes, search Lake Hillier. It is in Australia.

It was a magic experience. It is sad that the Lake will disappear soon due to bad maintenance and overexploitation of its salt. Africa is Rich. Senegal is Beautiful. The Senegalese are smart and nice. Please #VisitAfrica #VisitSenegal #VisitWestAfrica

Yes there was a lot of salt. The water had a hint of pink but it was more muddy colored. There were a couple of sad looking camels out and about which you could ride for a fee, no thanks. Was it an interesting experience overall? Yes. Would I come all the way here again to get a boat ride on salty water? 🤦‍♀️ Most likely not. I give it a couple of stars for being a quiet and serene location. It's a nice reprieve from the city and other busy areas.

Nice place to visit once, not much to do buy some curios and eat local food. Some dune riding available as well as quad bike hire.

Uau! I suggest to take at least 15 min tour with small boat if you want to see pink color all around you.

Good old days. I miss off roading in desert and lie down top of the water in beautiful looking Lac Rose (Pink Salt lake)2014-16

Went to Dakar in may June and July of 2022 and married my husband. The pink lake was the main attraction for us and we also rode a quad ( which was a first for my husband🤭) around the lake and on the beach. I can not say enough how wonderful our guide was and how informative he was about the lake and the area. I’m getting ready to leave the states to return to Dakar to see my husband before his visa is approved! We love Senegal and will always visit the wonderful people we have met there.

Lake Retba, also known as Lac Rose (meaning "pink lake"), lies north of the Cap Vert peninsula in Senegal, some 35 km (22 mi) north-east of the capital, Dakar, in northwest Africa. It is named for its pink waters caused by Dunaliella salina algae and is known for its high salt content, up to 40% in some areas. Its colour is usually particularly strong from late January to early March, during the dry season; however, flooding in September 2022 not only disrupted salt harvesting activities on the lake, but because it caused the lake to lose its colour, had a negative effect on tourism. The lake is situated 35 km (22 mi) north-east of Dakar, separated from the Atlantic Ocean only by a narrow corridor of dunes, and is named for its pink waters, which are caused by Dunaliella salina algae. The algae produce a red pigment to help them absorb sunlight, which gives them energy to create ATP. The color is particularly visible during the dry season (from November to May) and less visible during the rainy season (June to October).

A must see once you arrive to Senegal. “LAC ROSE” their famous Pink Lake. I came here in February during the cold season. Unfortunately, the water was not pink as you seen in other pictures . There were piles of salt in the water . The locals offered Camel back & ATV rides tour along the beach .

Lake is no longer pink and are constantly harassed, very disappointing excursion,

1 star is to much. The lac is not rose, its a dirty muddy lake which u find everywhere, selling this as a tourist attraction is pure fraud. On the way there ppl try to stop you forcefully to park on their "free" parking space. The moment you get out of the car locals will aggressively try to give you a tour and screw you over. A "no" is not accepted, if you dont give them any money they become aggressive.
