Goreé Island, rich in history, is probably the most famous tourist attraction in Senegal. One of the most frequently visited sites is the Maison des Esclaves (Slave House), a poignant reminder of Goreé's role as the center of West African slave trade. Built by the Dutch in 1776, the slave house has been preserved in its original state. Other points of interest include the Church, the picturesque ruins of Fort Nassau, Saint Michel (the Castle) and the Historical Museum in the old Fort Estrees. There is a small swimming beach near the ferry slip. Leave a Comment

 Gambia River by sachara
In the park we found out, that there was not yet any new elephant arrived. They told us, that, allthough it was arranged, that 70 elephants could come, they didn't come. The reason was, that the ecologists said there must at least be a start with 130 elephants.
So we didn't see any elephant along the river or at any other place in the park. Leave a Comment Directions: The Park is in the south east of Senegal, about 550 KM from Dakar and 70 KM south east of Tambacounda.

 Tambacounda by sachara
Except some shopping and a visit to the internetcafé, we didn´t do much more than sit along the street and look to what was going on. For me it´s always interesting, just to sit and to look at the African streetlife like the streetstalls, horsescarts and people walking by. We saw these ladies with very beautiful dresses, so we wondered ourselves for which occasion they would be so dressed up? Leave a Comment Directions: Tambacounda lies in the flat savannah area of south east Senegal.

 green banks along the Gambia
river by sachara
Near the Gambia River the vegetation is abundant with trees, lianes and bushes. In the plains you can find areas of herbaceous savannas. In and around the marshes and ponds the vegetation is very variable again, depending on the height, waterlevel and the soil structure.

 baboon by sachara
We did see some antilopes and the giant derby eland, but all at rather big distance. There are also leopards, lions, buffalos, crocodiles and hippos in the park, but we didn't see them.
The only animal we saw very close was this male baboon, just beside the track. Leave a Comment Directions: The Niokolo Koba Park is about 70 KM south east of Tamabcounda.
