Carabane
Island at the mouth of the Casamance River in southwestern Senegal, Carabane was the first French colonial trading post in the Casamance region and retains traces of that history alongside a compact cluster of cafés and restaurants. The island is accessible by boat from Dakar and Ziguinchor, and its Diola majority population maintains a rice-farming culture that has long defined life in lower Casamance.
