Saloum Delta, River delta and UNESCO World Heritage Site in western Senegal.
The Saloum Delta encompasses 180,000 hectares of mangroves, salt marshes, and waterways forming a complex network of ecological zones.
The delta contains archaeological evidence of ancient settlements and served as a significant trade center during the French colonial period.
The Serer people maintain traditional fishing methods and agricultural practices that have sustained their communities in the delta for generations.
Guided boat tours operate from November to April, providing opportunities to observe migratory birds and explore the extensive mangrove system.
The delta functions as both a Ramsar wetland and breeding ground for marine species while supporting numerous local fishing villages.
