About Senegal
In spite of the fact that it's one of West Africa's most steady nations, Senegal is a long way from dull. Roosted on the tip of a promontory, Dakar, the capital, is a bewildering, road trickster rich prologue to the nation: class meets turmoil, growling activity, lively markets and sparkling nightlife, while adjacent Île de Gorée and the shorelines of Yoff and N'Gor tap to moderate, lethargic beats. In northern Senegal, the puzzling capital of Saint-Louis, and Unesco World Heritage Site, entices with frontier engineering and closeness to beautiful national parks. Along the Petite Côte and Cap Skirring, wide segments of shorelines coax and the wide deltas of the Casamance welcome hypnotizing watercraft ventures in the midst of astonishing biodiversity, including many fowl species. Regardless of whether you need to blend with the trailblazers of urban Africa or be distant from everyone else with your considerations and the hints of nature, you'll discover your place in Senegal.
