Your eyes shouldn't get to have all the fun while you're in Senegal. Give your taste buds a little love as well by trying some of the local food and drink. After all, you can't say you've truly experienced a place until you've tasted its flavours.
This corner of the world has its own cuisine centred on available ingredients and local tastes. You'll discover lamb and pea are regularly used in many of the meals.

Your time spent in the Senegal region is certain to be much more satisfying if you put in the effort to memorise a few of the local expressions and greetings. Firstly, have a go at saying 'Bonne nuit'. It translates to 'good night'. Maybe you'll find 'Bon appétit !' easier to get your head around? It means 'enjoy your meal'.
Celebrated throughout the entire country, Independence Day happens each year on the 4th of April. If you're lucky enough to be here at this time, it'll be difficult not to get swept up in the festivities!
"Au revoir / À bientôt" doesn't need to sound so final. Why not keep a few West African francs for when you come back?
