Sokone

This peaceful and pretty city on the road to Banjul is an excellent place to take a boat and visit the nearby islands (Iles aux Coquillage et Iles aux Oiseaux). There are hotels and lodges that can organize an expedition in the mangroves to fish and visit the islands. With the NGO JOKKOO, you have the opportunity to stay the night with a local family and discover local culture in Senegal. You can visit the wrestling stadium and watch the wrestlers battle for the championship. An ancient peanut port, there are also several picturesque warehouses bordering the mangroves. Each Wednesday, there is a “looma”, weekly market, where you can see the economic and social culture of rural Africa. Or, if you want, you can take a dip in the water under the large African mahogany trees.
