Perfect for a relaxing holiday in the sun or mix it up with a visit to a local market and watch the fishermen bring in their catch of the day. Float in the salt lake or have a mini safari experience in the Bandia Reserve. If you want to soak up some of the culture, you can visit slave island or make a tour around Dakar. Senegal is definitely a destination to focus on as we believe that lots of people don’t automatically think of this destination and maybe need a little encouragement to visit this beautiful country.
