Le Figaro – Interview of Dolphin Excursions




Djibouti is a small state in the horn of Africa with great natural, cultural and anthropological wealth. Djibouti attracts more and more travelers. Dolphin Excursions had the pleasure of hosting “Le Figaro travel magazine” for a two-week adventure and documentary making through the country. Award winning photographer Greg le Coeur and tv presenter and film maker Jean-Bernhard Carillet had the opportunity to visit Lac Abbe, Lac Assal, The grand Barra and film the whalesharks that visit the Gulf of Tadjoura from October – January.



Celine Monfort, manager of Dolphin Excursions was in Paris for a one-hour live interview that discussed the visit of Le Figaro to Djibouti. The interview was broadcasted on the 15th of March and gives a great impression of what visitors can expect when travelling this beautiful country. There will be a follow up on the show in August with a multiple page article in the travel magazine of Le figaro”. Promoting the country will help to put Djibouti on the map as new tourist destination in East Africa. This will create more opportunities towards the future for Dolphin Excursions to develop tourism activities like cruises, land tours and more.
