Destination Dossier
Senegal is West Africa's most refined destination — the swinging rhythm of Dakar, the haunting Atlantic shores of Gorée Island, and the surprising wildlife of the Saloum Delta. Less a classic safari country than a study in cultural depth, its blend of music, history, and mangrove-edged coast offers a different kind of luxury altogether.
