Explore the Saloum by colourful wooden pirogue: 250,000 hectares of land, water and mangroves sheltering countless migratory birds.
Pirogues glide through channels lined with mangroves where cormorants, pelicans, flamingos and herons gather. The journey can include lunch beside the mangrove and a stop at an immense 850-year-old baobab.
This UNESCO World Heritage estuary is one of West Africa’s major wetlands and home to fishing villages whose ancestral traditions remain alive.
