What popular events take place in Senegal?

Senegal is a country in West Africa with a warm and tropical climate that is often overlooked as a holiday destination. Throughout the year, the country celebrates an array of festivities for locals and visitors alike. One of the most famous is Le Fanal, which happens in Saint Louis towards the end of December. The event is a Carnaval-like celebration where people dress up in elaborate costumes and decorate massive lanterns that float down the city's streets. It dates back to the 18th century and is based on a ritual that many of the most affluent families used to take part in. If you're an art lover, you'll want to find Senegal flight deals during May and make your way to Dakar to experience Dak'Art Biennale, which occurs every other year. The city hosts some of the most talented contemporary artists from Senegal during this festival. Dak'Art runs for the entire month of May and showcases as many as 200 different art exhibitions in an industrial area in Dakar. You can find more artwork displayed throughout the city in nearby hotels and art galleries.

Is the Senegal known for specific food/cuisine?

Senegalese cuisine is a fusion of influences from all over the world, including France, Portugal, the Americas, Vietnam, and the Middle East and is one of the richest cuisines in West Africa. The national dish of Senegal is called Thiéboudienne, invented back in the 19th century by Penda Mbaye. The dish consists of dried fish, fresh fish, rice, tomato, garlic, and chilli served with a variety of vegetables such as cassava, carrot, pumpkin, and aubergine. Chicken Yassa is another popular dish found in the country, particularly native to Casamance in the southwest. This dish is made of chicken pieces marinated in a mixture of vinegar, lime juice, onions, and peanut oil thrown together and then grilled over a woodfire. The chicken is simmered on low heat in its marinade before being served with fluffy white rice. The preparation of the dish takes a few hours. Lakhou Bissap is one more sought-after dish, typically found in Central and Western Senegal. The dish consists of semolina and different types of meat, including sorrel, tamarind and dried and fresh fish. It's served in a bowl and resembles a soup.

Lac Rose, or Lake Retba, is the country's very own Dead Sea, located only a drive away northeast of the capital city, turned pink by the high salt content. You'll be able to float in the water easily, thanks to its salt density. Outside of Dakar, you can make your way to the southeast of Senegal and visit the Niokolo-Koba National Park, which is a World Heritage Site and a natural protected area. A popular spot to look for Africa's big five animals.
