House of Slaves and Door of No Return visit on Gorée Island
Dakar · Senegal
About this experience
A boat takes you from Dakar to Gorée Island. The Slave House and the Door of No Return tell the history of the Atlantic slave trade in a quiet and heavy way. The streets are small and colourful, but this memory is the main focus of the visit.
The visit can be emotional, so a respectful manner and quiet voice suit it. Bring a hat and a light jacket for the sun and the breeze on the boat.
