More about Senegal

Senegal borders the Atlantic Ocean to the west, Mauritania to the north and northeast, Mali to the east, Guinea and Guinea-Bissau to the south. In the southern part of the country, Senegal encloses the state of Gambia, which stretches on both sides of the Gambia River.

Senegal is located in the Sudan and (in the north and northeast) in the Sahel zone. It encompasses most of the coastal lowlands on the Senegal and Gambia rivers, an alluvial plain of marine and terrestrial sediments that rises inland to 40 m above sea level. In the southeast (up to 581 m above sea level) the foothills of the Fouta-Djalon table mountain region reach into Senegal. The 500 km long coastline is flat and partly swampy, northeast of Cape Verde also dune-covered, only at Cape Verde is a steep coast formed (rocks of the tertiary and quaternary volcanism).
