Things to see and do Kafountine

At the mouth of the Kalissaye marigot, this nature reserve is made up of several islets scattered in the heart of the Casamance river delta. One can observe many species of birds such as Caspian terns, white pelicans and Audouin's gulls. It is also a breeding ground for several species of turtles such as the loggerhead or green turtle. With a bit of luck, you will also be able to see dolphins and manatees.

Frédéric, a former guide of the region, has decided to open in 2012 a museum of the Diola tradition with the traditional objects he recovered from his family. In the heart of a flowery garden, the museum is housed in a palm-roofed hut and is full of tools, musical instruments, kitchen utensils and all sorts of objects used by the Diolas. A veritable Ali Baba's cave! Next door, there is a small bar where you can refresh yourself with a delicious local juice.
