Fantastic sandy beaches and comfortable club resorts attract vacationers to the hot Atlantic coast of Africa, to Senegal. They are enchanted by primeval African exoticism, savannah and rainforest landscapes.
The country’s cuisine, which is exotic for Europeans, is based on fish, rice and millet. The Senegalese love sea creatures so much that they have one of the highest consumption rates of fresh fish in the world.
Best time to travel: November to May is dry season (at least) everywhere. Since temperatures rise very sharply in April/May, the months from November to March are considered the most pleasant time.
