In contrast with the rest of the country, Casamance offers a landscape of lush forests, rice paddies, mangrove, and huge kapok trees. Its beaches are considered the best in West Africa. The exceptional amount of sunshine, the warm sea, and the group of wonderful hotels scattered along miles of fine sandy beaches make this region a paradise for a relaxing vacation.
Some villages offer traditional accommodations and activities for the tourists in an ecotourism program that let the villagers use the income generated for development projects.
