Senegal Top Things To Do
• Try your luck with a fishing rod. Deep sea sport fishing can be organised in Dakar, or, for a more relaxed fishing experience, float down Senegal's creeks and rivers.
• Sunbathe to your heart's content - there are plenty of beaches, but swimming can be hazardous in some places. Good areas for talking a dip include Casamance, Hann Bay, N'Gor Beach and Petite Côte.
• Strap on the flippers and discover Senegal's underwater world. Enthusiasts will find good diving waters all around the Cap Vert Peninsula, with February to April being the best months.
• Join an ecotourism programme in the beautiful Casamance region. Some villages offer traditional accommodation and activities for tourists. (Note that political instability and a long-running conflict in this area means travellers should check before venturing there.)
• Enjoy the Petite Côte (Little Coast) south of Dakar, which stretches for some 150km (94 miles) and is one of Senegal's best beach areas. The main tourist resorts in the area are Mbour and, slightly further north, Saly Portugal.
