Adventure travel

Northern Senegal dominates here with the Lompoul Desert’s golden dunes, perfect for overnight camping and 4×4 excursions. Nearby, Lac Rose (Pink Lake) offers surreal landscapes and sandboarding. While The Gambia and Guinea-Bissau lack deserts, Casamance’s coastal trails and Fathala Reserve’s (Senegal-Gambia border) walking safaris compensate with bush adventures.
