Senegal
Senegal occupies the westernmost edge of Africa, where the Sahel's dry scrublands give way to Atlantic surf and the green corridors of the Casamance in the south. Dakar's dense urban energy contrasts with the quiet rhythms of fishing villages and the vast, flat interior. Teranga — the Wolof ideal of hospitality — shapes how people eat, greet, and move through daily life.
About Senegal
Overview
Bordering Mauritania to the north, Mali to the east, and Guinea-Bissau and Guinea to the south, Senegal nearly encircles the Gambia. Its capital, Dakar, sits on the Cap-Vert peninsula. French is the official language, though Wolof functions as a practical lingua franca. The currency is the West African CFA franc, shared across much of the region. Islam is practised by the large majority of the population.
