When is the Abéné festival?

Every year between Christmas and New Year, traditionally from 26 December to 2 January. It is when the village is at its liveliest, and the only time you need to book accommodation well in advance.

Can you visit the sacred kapok tree?

Yes, visitors are welcome, preferably accompanied by a local resident. Follow the instructions of the women who watch over the site and ask before taking any photos.

Abéné or Kafountine: where to stay?

The two villages are neighbours and are easy to combine. Choose Abéné for peace and music, Kafountine for the bustle of the fishing port.

How do you get to Abéné from Ziguinchor?

By the northern road, via Bignona and Diouloulou, then towards Kafountine: allow about two to two and a half hours. Travel by day and stick to busy roads.

TER Dakar–AIBD: the train finally serves the airport, and how to make the most of it

Since 28 September 2026, the TER (Regional Express Train) has linked Dakar station with Blaise Diagne International Airport (AIBD) in about 55 minutes.

Podor: the gum arabic trading post at the end of the river

Podor grew rich thanks to the river, then was forgotten when the road took over. That is precisely what makes it the most unusual stop in the north: trading-post quays facing Mauritania, a restored fort and, beyond, Île à Morphil and its earthen villages.

Mamelles Lighthouse: Dakar’s oldest watchman, at the top of the city

In service since 1864 and still kept by lighthouse keepers, the Mamelles Lighthouse watches over Dakar from the highest hill on the peninsula. You climb up on foot for the view, and stay for the story of a lighthouse that guided ships and then the pioneers of aviation.

Lac de Guiers: the great lake that keeps Dakar supplied with water

A good share of the water that runs from Dakar's taps comes from a lake in the Sahel, some 250 km to the north-east. Lac de Guiers is worth a visit for its birds, its villages and its farmed shores, but first and foremost it makes sense as what it is: the country's freshwater reservoir.

Éloubaline Island: at the end of the creek, the houses that drink the rain

A Diola island with no road or bridge, deep in the *bolongs* (tidal creeks) of Oussouye, where the impluvium houses are homes, not museum pieces. You arrive by pirogue; you leave having understood a whole region.

Points d’intérêt région Fatick

Dionewar: the Gandoul island that faces the ocean

Missirah: the fishing village with the giant kapok tree, at the far end of the Saloum

South of Toubacouta, almost on the Gambian border, Missirah makes no effort to please: it is a fishing village that lives off its quay, in the shade of an immense tree. Come at the time the pirogues return, and you will see the delta as it works.

Pointe Saint-Georges: the end of the track where you watch for manatees

Édioungou: the village where *bolong* clay becomes a jar

On the outskirts of Oussouye, a small Diola village draws its clay from the bed of the *bolongs* and turns it, by hand and without a kiln, into burgundy-coloured jars. You come for a craft and leave with a sense of the whole region.

Cachouane: the peninsula where the Casamance stops running

People call it “Cachouane island”, but it is a peninsula so well cut off by the tidal creeks that you arrive by water. A palm-fringed beach, a Diola village of fishermen and rice growers, and nothing to tick off: that is the whole point.

Points d’intérêt région Ziguinchor

Kadioute: not an island, but a Diola museum among the roots of a kapok tree

People sometimes talk about “Kadioute island”, but no map knows it: Kadioute is an open-air museum in the forest at Boucotte, a few minutes from Cap Skirring, where Diola culture is told at the foot of the kapok trees.
