Senegal, Senegal

Displayed:   times.

Senegal is probably best known in the West for producing one of the African continents most successful football teams. What most people don't realise is that Senegal, seated on the western coast of Africa is a backpacker's paradise. This country has history and culture in the form of remnants of the French colonial times and the slave trade, as well as stunning beaches and six national parks. Despite its small size Senegal manages to offer everything that a visitor could want.

It should be noted that the Casamance region should be avoided due to recent violence caused by bandits and separatist rebel factions. There are also occasional outbreaks of fighting along border with Guinea-Bissau between government forces and rebel. You should check with the FCO on the latest travel advice.
