About Your Tour of Senegal From the beautiful women with their multicolored dresses
and warm smiles, to the cheerful exuberance of typical African market
life, to the bustling daily routine in the busy streets, the welcome in
Senegal
is always warm.
In Senegal, anytime is dancing time, night or day. If you hear the sound
of the tam tam (drum) coming from one of the many ceremonies, be prepared
to be pulled in to participate in the merrymaking. Experience the daily
life of friendly village people, including the spectacle of the fishermen
returning to shore and the drying and distribution of the days catch.
Dakar
Dakar
is a modern metropolis and the capital city of Senegal that opens wide
the gateway to Africa. The city offers museums, beaches, as well as the
Senegal Zoo. Local markets sell everything from clothing in beautiful
handmade fabrics, to freshly cut coconuts, wood carvings, and handmade
drums.
Goree Island
A few minutes away from Dakar by boat lies the charming yet infamous
island
of Goree. The sandy streets are lined with pastel colored houses,
which contrast dramatically with the somber memory of Goree's past, brought
to life by the Door of No Return.
Casamance
The Casamance
region is known as Senegal's Storehouse, where the land is still used
for farming and cattle raising. Casamance is also known for its fabulous
beaches.
Saint-Louis
Saint-Louis
is the colonial capital of Senegal, where history resides on every corner.
The fishing port is located here, as well as the main market. Visit Saint-Louis
for its music festivals, cultural exhibits, and national parks.
Accommodation
You will have many hotel
options on your vacation in Senegal, whether the luxurious 5-star
deluxe Le
Meridien President or the more relaxed 3-star Ganale. Or experience
Saly Resort,
a haven of relaxation with a carpet of golden sands stretching as far
as the eye can see.
For business, for vacation, to discover your heritage, or just for the
pleasure of it, visit Senegal. ^back to top
