"An immersive six-day trip to Dakar, Senegal (January 18–23, 2025) led alongside James Beard award-winning chef Serigne Mbaye, billed as an experience including intimate gatherings with local artisans and chefs; explorations of the city’s art, architecture, and youth culture; and visits to historic UNESCO World Heritage sites (like Gorée Island). The itinerary is presented as an ultimate splurge for someone seeking deep cultural and culinary immersion." - Clair Lorell
