Welcome to Senegal, the hidden gem on Africa's Atlantic coastline, as well as the Western most place in all of Africa, Europe or Asia!
Senegal is a land of mixed landscapes: touching the edges of the Sahara desert to the North, to dense rainforests and winding river deltas in the South and rugged, forested highlands in the East, to long stretches of unspoiled, sandy beaches which make up Senegal's west coast. It's a place to get whatever you're looking for, for your authentic African experience!
Starting with the busy streets in the capital, Dakar, to the shores of the bright-pink lake Retba, through the small towns and villages on Mangrove-made islands, and up to the colorful jazz-loving city of St. Louis, you'll find Senegal's many landscapes and five different groups of people combine to give this place a truly unique culture, worthy of your next trip. Come and enjoy the famous Senegalese Teranga (hospitality), together with the friendly relaxed locals that call his nation home!
