When you visit Senegal, you will be treated to a wealth of natural beauty. From the Atlantic coastline and its dramatic cliffs, to the vast rolling savannahs in the north, this is a country that has something for everyone. Here are some highlights of what you can expect to see on your travels.

The beaches of Senegal are truly stunning, and offer plenty of opportunity for swimming, sunbathing and surfing. The best spots are found on the southern coastline, where the cliffs provide a dramatic backdrop and the waves are reliably strong.

If you're looking for wildlife spotting opportunities, then head to the national parks in northern Senegal. This is where you will find herds of elephants, lions and antelope grazing on the open savannahs. There is also a chance to see some of the more exotic creatures, such as the West African lion or the giant forest hog.

For those who prefer a more urban experience, Dakar is a must-see destination. This vibrant city is home to a diverse mix of cultures, and offers plenty of restaurants, bars and nightclubs to keep you entertained. The beaches here are also worth a visit, especially at sunset when the sky turns orange and red.

So if you're looking for an unforgettable African adventure, be sure to add Senegal to your list! With its natural beauty and cultural diversity, this country has something for everyone. So why not book your trip today? You won't regret it!
