We visited the Saloum Delta in September 2021 with a private car from Dakar, it was a day trip, all the way to the small fishing community of Djiffer at the end of the presqu'Ile. It took us a bit more than 3 hours. The car was arranged by our guesthouse (La Villa 126, a fantastic place, Awa is the lovely manager there +221776790286, the direct contact to the driver is +221775386362 Abdoulaye) and reasonably priced. Djiffer is surrounded by water on both sides, and due to global warming and beach erosion, lots of beach shacks and fishermen's houses have been destroyed recently. We drove straight through the center to the fishing port where our driver/guide made some arrangements for the boat trip to the Saloum Delta. Gasoline was organised, the price then fixed (50 Euros), and soon we discovered the birdlife and mangroves in the direction of Falia & Dinouar villages. We did not see any shellfish mounds, but stopped on the way back in the picturesque  fishing village of Joal-Fadiouth, there you are actually walking on real shells. Just at the pedestrian bridge is a seafood restaurant, it makes a good stop for fresh garlic shrimps or a grilled fish. The "Baobab Sacré" (on google map) makes another great stop on the way back to Dakar, as well as "Old Rufisque" which is in itself a Tentative site of UNESCO.
