Doxandem, a new way to experience travel
There are a thousand ways to discover a country.
Some prefer hotels, others like to improvise with a backpack.
Doxandem offers another path: spending time with the people who actually live there — no filter, no schedule, no tourist framework.
The reason behind Doxandem
Doxandem started from a simple idea: what if we could travel differently — without intermediaries, without a formatted framework?
Immersive stays do exist, but they’re often expensive, agency-run, and packaged like a “product.”
Here, we remove all that. No packages, no scheduled activities.
Just a simple setting: a family, a daily life, a shared slice of reality.
The people who bring Doxandem to life in Palmarin
You’ll mostly find Mamadou at the Eden camp — a key place in Palmarin. That’s where he welcomes travelers, answers questions, and helps make connections. He knows the families, the village, and always knows who to talk to to get things moving.
Palmarin, where it all began
Doxandem came to life here, in Palmarin — a village between the ocean and the lagoons, in the heart of the Sine-Saloum. It wasn’t planned. It was meant to be just a stop along the journey, but the people and the passing time did the rest.
