En savoir plus sur le livre

"Catch some world-class surf in Dakar, Senegal's dizzying capital -- Discover your inner nomad with an overnight stay in the wild Désert du Lompoul -- Wander among stately bougainvillea-clad homes in UNESCO-listed Saint-Louis -- Marvel at thousands of breeding pelicans at Parc National des Oiseaux du Djoudj -- Pirogue through Basse Casamance's web of mangrove-fringed creeks. Stretching from the waves of the Atlantic to the deserts of Mauritania, Senegal is one of West Africa's most diverse destinations. Known as the 'land of teranga' (Wolof for 'hospitality'), this welcoming nation offers a treasure trove of cultural riches, home to crumbling colonial cities, vibrant fishing villages and the region's liveliest music scene. Nature lovers are spoilt for choice here too, with wonders ranging from unspoilt wildlife reserves to an otherworldly fluorescent-pink lake. Fully updated by Sean Connolly for this second edition, Bradt's Senegal remains the only standalone English guide available to this fascinating land, making it an essential companion for anyone planning a visit." -- Provided by publisher
