Senegal Visa

Situated in West Africa, Senegal is frequently visited by travellers owing to its beautiful French colonial heritage as well as natural gems. Lake Retba is essentially a pink lake and is known for its high salt content whereas Goree is home to House of slaves, a museum of the Atlantic Slave trade which will remind you of the unfortunate times and Fort d'Estrees, an excellent example of royalty. Djoudj National Bird Sanctuary is another attraction of the place and is a wetland with many birds and animals to boast of. Interestingly, Africa's highest statue is located in Senegal and is named the African Renaissance Monument. The fact that it is made up of bronze makes it all the more endearing. If you are a wildlife enthusiast, you can witness endangered species in Niokolo Koba National Park and indulge in birdwatching in Saloum Delta, known for its ecotourism. Foret de Bandia is a wildlife reserve which offers safari tours and should not be missed. Citizens of 57 countries do not require a visa to enter Senegal and 69 countries can apply for a visa-on-arrival. If you do not come from any of these categories of countries, you can get your visa beforehand from the embassy of Senegal in your nation.
