Dindefelo Falls, Natural waterfall in Kedougou Region, Senegal.
Description
Dindefelo is a waterfall in the Kedougou Region where water cascades down a stepped rock face of about 115 meters and forms a natural basin. The water collects at the base in a quiet pool surrounded by thick forest and vegetation.
History
The site lies in the foothills of the Fouta Djalon massif and has long served as a natural boundary between Senegal and Guinea. This geographic position has shaped the region across generations.
Culture
The name Dindefelo comes from the Fulani language and means 'at the bottom of the mountain', reflecting how the village sits in this landscape. Local people continue to use this place as part of their daily connection to the land.
Practical
A four-wheel-drive vehicle is needed to reach the village, followed by a one-kilometer walk through the forest to the waterfall. The terrain is natural and requires proper footwear and reasonable fitness for the forest walk.
