Discover Senegal — day trips and experiences around the Games

A day trip away from the stadiums

Between two events, Senegal is easy to explore. From Dakar: Gorée Island and its House of Slaves, a UNESCO-listed site of universal memory, twenty minutes away by ferry; the African Renaissance Monument and the capital's markets; Lac Rose and its dunes. From Saly: the Bandia reserve with its rhinos, giraffes and antelopes, or a pirogue trip on the Somone lagoon.

For a long weekend, head to Saint-Louis, the former colonial-era capital and UNESCO World Heritage city, or to the mangrove channels of the Sine-Saloum delta.
