Like in the Saloum, life is organized along the fossil delta of a river which has been reclaimed by the sea. However, the landscape is very different because of the location of that region.

"The villages, established on the bank of the Casamance delta, are built under the cover of tall trees which protect them from the hot inter tropical sun. Small orchards and cultivated fields provide abundant ressources. This description sounds like Paradise, which is not far from being a reality, if an effort is made to preserve it."

You will be able to see new species of birds, found only in the Casamance delta. The great cormorants are easy to spot because they do not fear humans. Bottlenosed dolphins, which inhabit these waters, will enjoy a bow ride in front of your boat.
           

Another big asset of this area is the population. Animists in majority, local peope have a profound respect for their environment and this contributes to the serene atmosphere and the symbiosis with nature in this southern part of Senegal.

 

The inhabitants, the Diolas in particular, are very welcoming. They are a spontaneous people by nature, and will always take the time to talk with you and make sure you are well. This is indicative of the Casamance tradition and hospitality.
