Visit Tambacounda

Tambacounda is a region in eastern Senegal, located on the banks of the River Gambia. It borders Mali to the east and Guinea-Bissau to the south. The area has a semi-arid climate, with hot temperatures throughout much of the year.

Tourists visiting Tambacounda can explore its natural beauty, including areas such as Niokolo Koba National Park or Mako National Park - home to some of Senegal's most diverse wildlife. There is also historic sites such as Prendiko Mosque and Fort de Saint Louis - both built by French colonialists in the late 19th century. An interesting historical fact about Tambacounda is that it was once an important regional trading center for gold, kola nuts and various goods from West Africa's interior regions during pre-colonial times.
