The crowning glory of Senegal is its beaches. The wide strips of white sand that line the coast both north and south of the capital invite sunbathing, snorkeling, and swimming. The coastline is dotted with luxurious resorts, colourful fishing villages, and beach bars waiting to welcome visitors with a cool cocktail. The coastline breaks into a maze of shimmering plains, winding creeks, amd thick mangroves and wide lagoons at the Saloum and Casamance river deltas. Trekking through these areas reveals hundreds of species of birds and some of Africa's most scenic landscapes.
Brimming with life, the capital of Dakar is a feverish city that is always buzzing.

Few visitors are ever bored in the capital, and staying in rooms at hotels in Senegal in Dakar puts them within easy access of some of the country's best sights including the Institute Fondamental d'Afrique Noir Museum, an 18th-century slave-trading house, the remarkable Mosque de la Divinite, and the impressive Grande Mosquee.
