Bakel
Senegal
Bakel sits on the left bank of the Senegal River in eastern Senegal, where the water marks the border with Mauritania. This small departmental town in the Tambacounda region draws independent travellers for its riverside setting, diverse ethnic communities, and position as a gateway to the surrounding landscape — a long way from Dakar, and a different pace from the capital.
