Senegal is the world music hub of West Africa - dance in Dakar's clubs before heading off to explore pink lakes, sandy beaches and wild national parks
Whether you’re after a lazy poolside holiday or a pirogue adventure through lagoons and creeks, Senegal is the place for you. If you can pull yourself away from the pulsating live music clubs and busy markets of capital Dakar, there’s plenty to see elsewhere.
Both the Park National des Oiseaux du Djoudj and the Siné-Saloum Delta are bursting with wildlife: kingfishers and flamingos can both be crossed off your list. Île de Gorée, once a famous hub for the slave trade, is now a car-free island of narrow lanes and colonial buildings covered with bougainvillea. Head south to Toubab Dialao to avoid the resort hotels of Saly and enjoy safe swimming and a more local feel.
Learn a few words of Wolof and the names of African footballers playing in the premier league and you’ll make friends for life.
In Dakar, visit Tiossane – the nightclub of Senegalese musical hero Youssou N’Dour – a hot sweaty gem of a place.
