On Goree Island you can learn about Dakar`s dark history while enjoying this little island`s lush and idyllic atmosphere. Only a short ferry ride from Senegal’s capital Dakar lays the tiny island Ile de Gorée. The island is a popular destination for anyone visiting Dakar and Senegal and tells the story of the slave trade across the Atlantic. The entire island was listed on UNESCO World Heritage List in 1978. Read more on: http://www.travelwithallsenses.com/goree-island-slave-trade/

Ile de Goree Beach

Why not spend a carefree afternoon at Ile de Goree Beach during your travels in Dakar?

Ile de Goree Beach
Sandanga lies roughly midway on Plateau center in Dakar and is the biggest of Dakar`s markets. If you are not familiar with African markets is worth a visit, but be careful with your valuables and do not be fooled to follow strangers. Sandanga is a mix of flea market and tourist market. It is fussy and chaotic and sellers are ongoing. Try to visit Sandanga early in the morning. It is less crowded at that time of day and fruits and vegetables are fresh and look attractive.

It is located at Rte. de Yoff, heading towards the airport. Here artists can get a studio space and some support from the government. It’s like a small walled village where people work and some also live here. Some foreign artists are also invited to stay in shorter periods as Artists in Residens. This is probably one of the most important measures to support the contemporary art in Senegal and an important contribution to the Dakar art scene.
