    • We liked to stay a few days in Ker Serigne away from all the touristic hotels and be part of the local life in the village.

    In the centre of the village, a few blocks of our house, were several streetstalls. It was a small market, where the women were selling vegetables, fruits, fire wood and lots of other goods.

    • It was not easy to find our way in Ker Serigne. There were hardly any landmarks and no streetnames. So we had to count the blocks and look out for minor details.

    For me this beautiful gate of the neighbours was a landmark. When I saw this gate I knew I had the right block.

    Off The Beaten Path: Ker Serigne, unpaved roads and 'roundabouts'

    • All the roads in Ker Serigne are unpaved. At some cross roads you can find some natural 'roundabouts' of grass, but also garbage.

    Also this point became a landmark for me to find my way back to the Villa Transsahara.

    At some place the village looks very green by its gardens.

     You have presented a fabulous depiction of the region and things to see/do. Thank you for the good work put into it.    		jumpingnorman Tue Feb 17, 2009 23:09 UTC
     Ali - you're truly blessed --- you also went to Gambia! Sigh, I can only dream...but maybe someday...dolphins in the Gambia River? Intersting. And the Wassu stones ---- like Stonehenge?

     Looks a lot like some of the big cattle ranches I've been to in British Columbia, except for the climate. The famous Gang Ranch has more than 1,000,000 acres and 12,000 head.
