Stay : First time in Senegal
Senegal is a land of eternal sunshine and adventure, rich in magnificent, contrasting landscapes and chance encounters. It's the image of Africa as we see it through our tales, our griots, our animist culture and our hut villages. In short, the Africa we tell our children to make them dream.
