Senegal’s most modern cities as well as visits to some of Senegal’s
most isolated villages, where life has remained virtually unchanged for centuries.

Goree Island for over 300 years was one of the largest slave trading centers in West Africa,
with millions of captured Africans being warehoused there as they waited for the ships that would take them to the Americas.
