Tripzo is one of the most popular Travel agency for those who want to explore the world and try to make adventure!

Dakar

The lively capital city, full of markets (like Sandaga Market), art galleries, and nightlife.

Visit the African Renaissance Monument — it’s huge and offers amazing views.

Île de Gorée

A small, colorful island with a deep history tied to the Atlantic slave trade.

The House of Slaves (Maison des Esclaves) is incredibly powerful and moving.

Sine-Saloum Delta

Stunning river delta with mangroves, wildlife, and traditional fishing villages.

Great for eco-tourism, birdwatching, and boat tours.

Petite Côte

Beautiful beaches and resorts south of Dakar.

Saly is more touristy, while Somone and Popenguine are more laid-back and authentic

Touba

Home to the Grand Mosque of Touba, one of the largest mosques in Africa.

Important religious and cultural center for the Mouride Brotherhood.

Lac Rose (Lake Retba)

The famous pink lake! It gets its color from algae, and you can even float in it because it’s so salty. 

Best to visit during the dry season (November–June) when the pink color is most vivid.

Saint-Louis

Historic, colonial-era city on the coast.

Amazing architecture, jazz festivals, and river views (it’s on the Senegal River).

Niokolo-Koba National Park

UNESCO World Heritage site!

Spot lions, elephants, antelopes, and tons of birds. Best for safaris.

Thies

Known for crafts and colorful woven tapestries.

Great if you’re into traditional Senegalese arts and shopping.

Casamance Region

Lush, tropical, and different from northern Senegal.

Great beaches (like Cap Skirring), forests, and a rich culture (especially the Diola people).

Less visited, so it feels super special.
