JigsawSenegal Puzzles
Senegal lies on the westernmost tip of mainland Africa, facing the Atlantic Ocean. It is known for its music, its welcoming people and its brightly painted fishing boats. Our Senegal puzzles visit Dakar, the capital, the small island of Gorée, the old colonial town of Saint-Louis, Lac Rose and the dry savanna of the interior.

About Senegal
Along the beaches of Dakar, fishermen launch long wooden canoes called pirogues, decorated with colourful patterns, flags and names. Every afternoon, the boats return with their catch to busy beach markets.
Gorée Island, a short ferry ride from Dakar, is a quiet place of colonial houses, flowers and narrow sandy lanes. It is a World Heritage Site and a memorial to the Atlantic slave trade, visited by people from all over the world who come to remember.
North-east of Dakar, the water of Lac Rose turns pink, and in the north the old capital, Saint-Louis, stands on an island in the Senegal River. Inland, giant baobabs, the national tree, rise over the savanna, and giraffes and rhinos have been brought back to the Bandia Reserve.
