📍 Senegal is a country located in West Africa, positioned along the Atlantic coast at the westernmost point of the African continent. It is bordered by Mauritania to the north, Mali to the east, and Guinea and Guinea-Bissau to the south, while it surrounds The Gambia almost entirely except for its Atlantic coastline. It has a coastline along the Atlantic Ocean to the west.

Senegal’s landscape includes coastal plains, savannas, and river valleys, with the Senegal River forming part of its northern border. The country has a tropical climate with distinct wet and dry seasons.

Senegal’s coastal location has historically made it a key center for trade, cultural exchange, and maritime activity in West Africa, particularly during trans-Atlantic trade periods.
