About Senegal
Senegal sits at the westernmost point of the African continent, bordered by Mauritania, Mali, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, and The Gambia, which cuts deep into its territory. The capital, Dakar, serves as the country's political and economic hub. Senegal is widely regarded as one of West Africa's most stable democracies, having never experienced a military coup. French is the official language, while Wolof functions as the most widely spoken lingua franca. The landscape ranges from Sahelian savanna in the north to the lush, river-crossed Casamance region in the south.
