Saloum River Delta

The Sine-Saloum Delta is a national park and biosphere reserve. It is a lively river. There are plenty of birds; pelicans, flamingos, herons, kingfishers, teals, etc. ..... even eagles. On the numerous islands you can see red and green monkeys, hyenas and turtles and also dolphins. There is usually a tour at 5 pm, which lasts for three hours and takes you to the best places to watch the birdse. In the forests there are also many mangroves. I embarked on a tour with my companions; 14 young people all willing to have fun and loaded with beer and champagne that had been procured on site, at Keur Saloum.
