Wildlife in Senegal

One thing you should not forget is the animal encounter in Senegal and West Africa as a whole. Drought has wiped off some species. To combat this, several reserves have been established to replenish animal populations. Various animals are transported from various African countries. You will see monkeys, rhinos, zebras, buffalos, elands, and gazelles. When visiting Senegal, go to Bandia Park to witness these creatures. It's entertaining and visually appealing. A drive-by safari takes a couple of hours to get there. Because of the low shrub, these animals are plainly seen in June. If you like birds or enjoy seeing them, there are many to see. A boat safari to either Barbarie National Park or Djoudj National Bird Sanctuary will allow you to witness over 400 different bird species.

Senegal has a diverse range of flora and animals due to its four major habitats (forest, savanna grassland, freshwater, marine, and coastline). However, rising human activity and changes in weather patterns, including higher rainfall deficits, are harming and destroying natural environments. This is especially obvious in the case of forests, which were being destroyed at a pace of 40,000 hectares (100,000 acres) each year in the five years leading up to 2010.
