Must See Senegal - Ziguinchor

At first glance, Ziguinchor may not seem like anything special, but those who stay here grow to love it despite the influx of tourists during the winter months. Being one of Senegal's cheapest cities and only having about 100,000 inhabitants, makes it easy on your feet and your wallet.

The Marché St-Maur is worth a visit if you're looking for food or knickknacks. A block south is the Centre Artisanal, where numerous venders sell a variety of area crafts. Many of the area's hotels can organise a pirogue (canoe) ride to the villages of Affiniam and Djilapao or the Île des Oiseaux.
