The National Park Delta du Saloum is also called Sine Saloum National Park and is located on the Senegalese Atlantic coast within the delta of the Saloum and Sine rivers. Its area is 76,000 hectares, which makes it about the size of the state of Hamburg. The national park was founded in 1976 and includes one of the most important mangrove stands in West Africa. Since 2011 he belongs to the World Natural Heritage. The region is home to a variety of waterfowl, and migratory birds from Europe are added in winter. If you want to get to know the Saloum delta in Senegal with its hundreds of branches, you should take advantage of the local knowledge of the locals. A shellfish's wooden boat (pirogue) allows you to explore the shallow river landscape with its mangrove forests and lagoons, home to flamingos, pelicans and caimans.
