Discovering Dakar
Dakar, the capital of Senegal, have been the thriving pulse of West Africa long before becoming a tourist hotspot. Dakar has always had a vibrant nightlife, bakeries and cafes and culture to spare. Let's discover some things to do, see and eat in Dakar:1- Visit Lac Rose
Lake Retba, known almost universally as Lac Rose, is Senegal’s very own Dead Sea. Situated 29 kilometres north-east of Dakar, this shallow lake is so named because its remarkably high salt content turns the water varying shades of pink!
2- Go to Ngor Island
The island seems a world away from the mainland. Home to just 100 permanent residents, the tiny island plays host to an infinity of small beaches and local eateries. Head over for the day, soak up the sun, cool off in the clear water and eat some fresh fish on the beach.
