Biffeche, River island in Dagana Department, Senegal
The island stands amid the waters of the Senegal River delta, featuring dense woodland areas that become submerged during seasonal flooding patterns.
During the 17th century, the island fell under the governance of the Petit Brak ruler, who maintained complex relationships with the Grand Brak of Waalo.
The population includes Fula, Serer-Ndut, Wolof, and Moor ethnic groups, each contributing to the varied traditions and practices of the region.
Access to the island varies throughout the year due to water level changes in the Senegal River, requiring visitors to plan transportation accordingly.
The region supports a SOCAS tomato paste factory in Savoigne, which processes and distributes products throughout Senegal.
