SENEGAL is the land of music & hospitality (Teranga means hospitality in wolof, the main dialect of the country) : enjoy the Mbalakh rythm (local music) and the sound of the Djembé. Senegal is also well known for its delicious “cuisine”.

Bordered by Algeria on the north, Niger on the east, Burkina Faso and the Côte d'Ivoire on the south, Guinea on the south-west, and Senegal and Mauritania on the west, Mali is located between the Sahel & the Sahara desert. Its straight borders on the north stretch into the centre of the Sahara, while the country's south, where the majority of inhabitants live, features the Niger and Senegal rivers. Formerly French Sudan, the country is named after the Mali Empire.

The cultural identity of Niger is noted in the daily life of its locals during traditional & desert festivals like the “ hotoungo” (Nomads' annual celebration ). Adventurous travellers to Niger might also encounter nomadic tribes or elephants in 'W' National Park, take a canoe down the River Niger or tour the fabulous old Tuareg capital, Agadez
