Situated in West Africa, with a name bequeathed by the magnificent Senegal River that graces its eastern and northern borders, Senegal is a nation teeming with scenic allure and cultural diversity. Home to approximately 17 million people, this predominantly Muslim country, recognised as one of Africa's most stable, offers a distinctly Senegalese narrative tinted with French influence, and is wrapped in the rhythmic pulse of Wolof – its most widely spoken language.

From its historical richness, fossilised in archaeological relics, to its political stability, characterised by a peaceful transition of power in 2000, Senegal succinctly blends history with modernity. The compelling ethnic diversity with Wolof, Fula, and Serer people forming the major ethnic communities, lends an intriguing dimension to its cultural mosaic. Senegal's economy, resting on pillars of agriculture, mining, and tourism, values its association with global organisations like the African Union, the United Nations, and ECOWAS. Despite its political progress, the country grapples with ongoing challenges, like the Casamance conflict and social issues, helmed by current President Macky Sall.
