Senegal is full of natural and cultural treasures and leisure activities that are too little known or exploited. This observation led to the creation of ATAYA, a 100% Senegalese application that is changing the way Senegalese consume leisure and tourism.

Behind ATAYA is Mohamed Tounkara, an engineer, adventurer, mountaineer, and entrepreneur who represents Senegal in mountaineering. After exploring the peaks, seabeds, and cultures of his country, he came across a simple observation:

“Senegal is full of wonders, but we Senegalese know little or nothing about them.”

With more than 15 years of experience in IT, he then developed a unique application in Africa and even in the world: ATAYA, available on iOS, Android and web via www.ataya.app

ATAYA is the modern guide to outings in Senegal. The application allows you to:

-Discover and book cultural, tourist, sporting or leisure activities

- Access a dynamic calendar of all the events around you

-Be connected with other people to share these experiences

A real boost for those who no longer want to go out alone, who are looking for original local activities or who simply want to experience their region differently.

Already more than 45,000 subscribers on the user side. On the professional side, ATAYA already attracts more than 100 partners, restaurants, hotels, concert organizers, cultural and sports promoters, who use the platform to manage their reservations, sell their tickets online and gain visibility among a young, connected and mobile community.

ATAYA isn't just for the general public. With ATAYA Corporate, the startup offers a solution specifically designed for businesses to strengthen team well-being and cohesion.

Employers can offer their employees easy access to leisure, sports, and cultural activities through a membership system tailored to the size of the company. This is a modern and innovative way for Senegalese companies to promote employee motivation, balance, and performance.

ATAYA isn't just an app: it's also a field media outlet. The team travels the country capturing landscapes, experiences, and activities, before sharing them on social media. It's a way to inspire, inform, and promote Senegal's cultural and tourism potential.

In just a few months, ATAYA has established itself as the go-to app for booking leisure activities, discovering where to go out in Senegal, and meeting activity partners. This digital revolution is bringing Senegalese people closer to their heritage and positioning the country as a future hub for tourism and leisure in Africa.

An innovation born in Senegal, designed for the continent, and which has already begun to sustainably transform uses.
