Tama Lodge

For some travelers, full immersion, rather than haughty seclusion, is the only way to experience a new place, and Senegal’s Tama Lodge provides just that — without sacrificing the comforts of a luxury hotel. The lodge, which sits on the very edge of the continent, blends the colors and charms of the beachfront with authentic Senegalese construction and décor; local materials and artwork abound in the guest cabins, which from the outside evoke the shape and character of traditional masks. The rooms themselves aren’t overly luxe, but the Touareg camel leather carpets, bed frames hewn from tree trunks, and Kuba fabric curtains lend them an unmistakable sense of place. You won’t forget it at the restaurant, either, where the menu is updated daily to account for the latest hauls of fresh fish, local meats, and exotic fruits.
