Although I had visited the Island of Goree before on my previous trip to Senegal, on last year’s trip I still wanted to visit it again. Ile de Goree is this somewhat beautiful island, a short ferry ride from Dakar, that between the 15th and 19th centuries CE was the world’s biggest slave-trading centre. It …
Well, it had to happen – I had to eventually make it to Dakar!! It was around the 21st of April last year I think that I took the last overland portion of the Dhaka to Dakar adventure and made it to the Senegalese capital. In three parts I am going to summarise my experiences …
G’day all. We are reaching the close, the climax, the final destination of this trip I took LAST YEAR from Dhaka, Bangladesh to Dakar, Senegal. Saly would be the penultimate stop.

Two long little islands connect to the mainland via the Pont Faidherbe, a bridge featuring in most of the postcards you can …

Howdy all! Searching through the hotels online for Dakar, Senegal I failed to come up with any that really looked like good value for money, so I tried Air BnB and for a good price I found myself in an apartment opposite a supermarket with loads of space and comfort. So I did a little …

Howdy all! Yes, a photographic post today featuring the town of Saly, 80km south of Dakar the Senegalese capital where I grabbed basically the only 2 days of proper R&R that I took all trip.

Today's vlog is a special one. I hope I did a good job. I'm taking you on a tour of the moving Ile de Goree from which over 20 million people were shipped off to the 'New World' to become slaves, and where today a small community of 1500 live making a living through tourism …
