SENEGAL
TRIP OVERVIEW
Whether you are looking for history or just a change of scenery, Senegal is West Africa's most-visited destination, which has made a strong contribution to the country's growth. The people! The attitude! The chaos! The West African nation that is as mesmerizing as it is accessible for foreigners. There’s plenty of soul and with a dash of quirk to be found—whether in the legendary taxis of Dakar, or the jazz bars of St. Louis.
Dakar, Senegal (5 nights)
Perched on the tip of a peninsula, Dakar, the capital, is a dizzying introduction to the country: elegance meets chaos, snarling traffic, vibrant markets and glittering nightlife, while nearby Île de Gorée and the beaches of Yoff and N'Gor tap to slow, lazy beats.
Upon landing in Dakar, you will see the African Renaissance Monument, which really sets the tone for your stay: an experience rich in culture.

TOUR
HIGHLIGHTS
DAKAR CITY TOUR
Dedicated in 2010 the massive African Renaissance Monument is a towering piece of brutal Stalinist machismo that is intended to celebrate the achievements of the African people but will likely be better remembered for the corruption and unpopular alliances that led to its construction.

SHELL ISLAND
Fadiouth, a small village nestled on a shell island in Senegal, is a fascinating microcosm of the West African nation. Fadiouth is accompanied by a muted crunching of hundreds of clam shells. Streets are covered in layer after layer, and the entire island is built on millions of shells that have accumulated over generations. Shells are a part of everything in the town and are incorporated seamlessly into the architecture as well.
WOMEN'S SHELTER VISIT
The shelter aims to help women recover from psychological trauma of rape and pregancy through music, art, and other types of therapy. The women do daily activities to relax and refocus and when they are ready, begin learning professional skills.
PINK LAKE
The ‘Dead Sea of Senegal’ Is a Shocking Shade of Pink Colored by algae and beloved by bathers, Lake Retba is a prime source of salt—and backbreaking labor.
