Goree Island Half Day Visit in Dakar, Senegal

[more photos]

Even if you have only a little time to spend in Dakar, Goree Island is always worth a visit. This island is one of the most interesting places in Dakar, with something for everyone; whether you are interested in meeting local people, nature, history, architecture, museums, take a swim, find a nice place to wander about or, of course, find out about slavery.

A visit to the Maison des Esclaves, the memorial monument to slavery with the guns on which Victor Schölcher sat to celebrate the law officially ending slavery, will definitely open your mind towards this period.
