Discover Authentic Hospitality in Senegal
The authenticity of Senegalese hospitality, known as Teranga, leaves no one indifferent, especially when you step off the beaten path. This festive, jovial, generous, and open spirit towards strangers is very spontaneous. It is essential to remember that greetings in Senegal are of great importance and can last five minutes along a path. Don't hesitate to engage in this protocol to be friendly and polite, with multiple "hello, how are you?" greetings. Venturing into the isolated villages of Eastern Senegal or Casamance, you will discover other more traditional and animist cultures, such as those of the Bassaris, Bediks, or Diolas. In these communities, the sense of family and hospitality is real, ancestral rituals are still practiced, and community living is part of everyday life.
