Country in Across Africa

Senegal

Begin in Dakar, where museums place African histories and contemporary thought beside the public ferry to Gorée. Northward, Saint-Louis holds a distinctive river-island cityscape and opens the way to Djoudj's migratory-bird wetlands. South of the capital, the Saloum Delta brings mangrove channels, fishing and shellfish knowledge, and centuries of human-shaped islands into one cultural landscape. Farther east, Tambacounda is the practical staging point for Niokolo-Koba, where the Gambia River crosses gallery forest and savanna.
