Sine Saloum National Park

by grets - last update: Jan 24, 2005

The delta is formed by the confluence of two rivers (the Sine and the Saloum) into the attlantic. There are many lagoons and small islands fringed by palms and little fishermen villages which you can visit. The biosphere reserve is a wild, beautiful region which extends over 180 acres. Mangroves are dominant, but sand dunes, open forest on sandy soils, coastal waters and sand islands also characterize the area.

 Thought provoking page of this less travelled destination. Interesting to ponder why locals are not friendly to tourists. Great pictures of the people there. Wish I were there... Cheers, SL :)

 I enjoyed reading about your trip to Senegal, since I'll be going there for the first time in five weeks. Looks like a beautiful place.

 You captured such beautiful people photos Grete, I love the dusty road sunsets too. Sorry to read some were not as friendly as they should have been. Wonderful page though (~_~)
