Perched on Africa’s western-most tip, shaded by Mauritania to its north and gazed at admiringly by little Guinea Bissau to its south, with the endless Atlantic ocean to the west, the welcome here in Senegal is always warn. Visitors usually arrive first in the vibrant capital city of Dakar, which will tempt you to spend all your time here. But whether you go north towards Saint Louis, the former French colonial capital that is now Senegal’s cultural center and a UNESCO World Heritage site, south towards Cap Skirring with its endless lonely beaches, or to any of Senegal’s sparsely populated regions, resist Dakar’s temptation and see more of the less-urban Senegal.
