A moment where the beautiful morning sky, home to birds gliding effortlessly and singing sweet melodies, watches over the meeting of the lagoon, the mighty Atlantic Ocean and the soft, glassy stretch of sand that separates the two waters.
Upon this glassy shoreline, guests stroll from one buffet station to another, discovering and savouring the rich flavours of Africa through an array of carefully prepared traditional delicacies.
Then the atmosphere changes.
The gentle sounds of nature blend with the powerful rhythms of talking drums, energetic dance steps and melodious voices as ATunda Entertainment transforms breakfast into a WOW.
Their performances, colourful costumes, acrobatic displays and captivating choreography create an atmosphere where culture is not merely observed but experienced.
Guests remain seated on the glassy sand, enjoying breakfast while surrounded by a living theatre of African heritage.
On one side lies the peaceful lagoon, its calm waters inviting reflection, serenity and the beauty of mangrove forests.
On the other stands the powerful Atlantic Ocean, with its rolling waves crashing towards the shore, offering a striking contrast between calmness and untamed energy.
It is a rare destination where two completely different worlds meet in one breathtaking landscape.
Every Sunday morning, this breakfast experience unfolds at La Campagne Tropicana, becoming one of the moments guests eagerly anticipate throughout their stay.
When breakfast ends, the adventure continues.
Guests step onto the lagoon for kayaking and a variety of exciting water experiences, where the refreshing breeze and cool waters elevate the day’s pleasure.
Some even choose to dip their feet into the lagoon while enjoying their meal, embracing the soothing embrace of nature.
As the morning unfolds, guests also witness the daily rhythm of life in the neighbouring Ikegun community.
Fishermen paddle their wooden boats across the lagoon, casting their nets and beginning the day’s work, offering visitors an authentic glimpse into the community’s enduring relationship with the water.
You will only get this experience and more at La Campagne Tropicana River Forest and Beach Resort.
