Senegal Tour Package

Senegal, officially the Republic of Senegal, is the westernmost country in continental Africa, situated on the Atlantic Ocean coastline. Senegal is bordered by Mauritania to the north, Mali to the east, Guinea to the southeast and Guinea-Bissau to the southwest.

Senegal is famous for its national parks, music and nightlife, and abundance of natural beauty, from sandy beaches to lush national parks. On a more somber note, Senegal is also known for its role in the transatlantic slave trade, and was once a major slave-trading center.

The once controversial bronze statue is a popular attraction among locals as well as visitors. It features a man, woman and child pointing, a symbol of renewed African hope.
