If you go through any travel brochure about Senegal, you will frequently come across the word teranga, which means “hospitality”. This is something that “the country of Teranga” has every right to be proud of.
Dakar, the country’s capital, is located on the western extremity of the Cap-Vert Peninsula and provides a magnificent welcome. Elegance meets turmoil, traffic congestion, vibrant markets, and a glittering nightlife, yet the rhythms are calmer on the surrounding Île de Gorée and the beaches of Yoff and N’Gor.
To the north, Saint-Louis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, entices with its intriguing colonial architecture and stunning national parks. The communities of Petite Côte and Cap Skirring allow you to charter a boat and explore the Casamance River, which is home to hundreds of bird species making Senegal an ideal destination for bird lovers.
