Djoudj National Bird Sanctuary

Langue de Barbarie National Park

The Djoudj National Bird Sanctuary (French: Parc national des oiseaux du Djoudj) is located at 60 kms from Saint-Louis and deserves a visit.

It lies on the southeast bank of the Senegal River and provides a range of wetland habitats which prove very popular with migrating birds, many of which have just crossed the Sahara. Of almost 400 species of birds, the most visible are pelicans and flamingos.

The Langue de Barbarie National Park (French: Parc National de la Langue de Barbarie) is located at the southern edge of the peninsula.
