Things to see and do Tambacounda

A subsidiary of the French group Geocoton, Sodefitex (Société de développement et des fibres textiles) produces between 15,000 and 20,000 tonnes of cotton fibres per year. This quality fibre, of immaculate whiteness, is sold today only abroad following the crisis that hit the Senegalese spinning mill in the 1980s. In Tambacounda, its ginning plant supports the local economy. It employs more than 400 seasonal workers from December to April, when it is operating at full capacity. This visit is possible with the Tamba Tourist Office.

This structure offers information and some leaflets on eastern Senegal. It also houses the guides' office where you will be warmly welcomed by Mamadou Camara, a permanent member of the union and an approved guide.

Possibility of bivouac in the park of Niokolo Koba, stays in Guinea and visits to the city of Tambacounda. Also car rental.
