Le Lac Rose is really worth a visit. You have to be lucky to see the lake in pink, it depends on the weather and the algae in the water. First take a walk around the salt piles, somebody will explain you how they..

Travel Tips for Senegal

Sali, Western Senegal, Senegal
Le Sénégal restera également un pays gravé à tout jamais dans ma mémoire car d'abord c'était le cadeau de mes 30 ans et puis c'est un pays certe très pauvre mais où justement les gens se contentent de peu et sont tellement heureux, sans aucun stress malgré toute la misère. En plus je pense que je suis allée dans le meilleur hôtel de Sali, c'est à dire "le Royam Hôtel". En effet on te sert à table, tu manges de nouveaux poissons tous les jours et si tu es fan franchement tu te régales. Et toujours pareil les autochtones sont tellement chaleureux, même s'ils n'ont rien, ils sont prêt à tout pour toi....

Dakar, Western Senegal, Senegal
"chez loutcha" in dakar was worth a daily visit and would even be worth a return to dakar: gigantesque servings, extraordinary taste, megalomaniac, fresh vegetables, steaming soups, mysterious and addictive spicy sauce... no reason to dine somewhere else in senegal's capital.

Ile de Goree, Western Senegal, Senegal
The women museum (musée des femmes) on Ile de Gorée is very interesting, especially when you ask for a guide. It's right in front of the slave house (maison des esclaves).

Podor, Senegal
The French Fort has recently been restored and is worth a visit. Though you might have some difficulties finding the keykeeper (who's also an excellent, friendly guide). You might find him at the docks, or just ask around for him. If you don't find the fort ('cause it's not that easy to find), also just ask around.

Saint-Louis, Northern Senegal, Senegal
You might be disappointed when you go to Saint-Louis, 'cause the town isn't very cosy, doesn't have many pretty buildings, is surrounded by dirty water... For us it was kind of a disappointment.
