The beautiful land of Senegal

Map of Senegal

The republic of Senegal was named after Sénégal River  and it is one of the most beautiful country in West Africa. This is a french speaking country, but you will definitely meet people who understand un peu anglais (some English).

The Island of Goree

The slave masters houses shows the contrast of lifestyles 

This was the largest slave trade building on the coast of Africa, a point of no return for many. Cultures and Identity were lost in this building. A visit to this island is an experience that you will cherish forever.  The Goree Island is the perfect place to visit and gain more information on slavery or for the purpose of closure.
