Mboro

Mboro is one of the most beautiful coastal towns in Senegal. It takes just over an hour to go from Dakar, the country's capital, to Mboro, a charming tiny town. It is the center of one of the most fruitful districts in the country and produces a ton of vegetables that are used to fill the crowded marketplaces of the city to the south. Visitors enjoy hopping between the food stalls and vibrant farmer emporiums in Mboro's own vibrant market as they haggle over the intriguing native tie-dye costumes and delectable preserves.

Mboro is a remote location that can accommodate the needs of every adventurous traveler. There is a lovely, sandy beach for beach and ocean lovers where you can rent a simple home or little boats (pirogues) for fishing outings. For those who enjoy the outdoors, the town is surrounded by lovely woods and Pink Lake is close by. For those interested in culture, there is the opportunity to visit authentic Wolof villages and engage in some of their customary pastimes, such as basket weaving and preparing Senegalese tea.
