Destination Senegal
Senegal is both modern and deeply rooted in the culture of its different ethnic groups. It is famous as a destination with a warm welcome for travellers.
This western African country is very attractive to tourists because of its natural riches and its opportunities for cultural exploration. In the homeland of the poet and statesman Léopold Sédar Senghor African history is still omnipresent, as can be witnessed in the city of Saint-Louis and its colonial houses, and on the Île de Gorée, the former port of departure for slave shipments to America, which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The country is also resolutely focused on modernity, as you will see in Dakar, an unmissable step in any trip to Senegal, where you can see the Grand Mosque, the historic Plateau district and the picturesque Sandaga Market. For nature lovers, the country offers a huge choice, with multiple nature reserves: the National Parks of Djoudj and the Sine Saloum Delta for birds, and Niokolo-Koba for wild animals.
When you book a plane ticket to Senegal, you’re also choosing a destination famous for its Atlantic beaches. La Petite-Côte, to the south of the capital, is the beach par excellence for holiday-makers in search of sun and relaxation, as is Cap-Skirring, to the far south, in Casamance.
With its tropical climate, temperatures hover around 20° to 30°C all year round. The dry season lasts from November to May and the rainy season from June to October, with more rain in the south than in the north.
