Barbary Reserve

La Langue de Barbarie is a thin sandy peninsula, adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean, located in western Senegal, near the city of Saint-Louis. The peninsula separates the ocean from the final stretch of the Senegal River.

The Barbarian Language National Park was created in 1976 to protect this area that covers 2,000 hectares and is located at the mouth of the Senegal River. It is the nesting place of numerous birds such as white pelicans, cormorants, gray herons, egrets and ducks among others. To see pink flamingos you have to go in January.

December to March is when migratory birds arrive from Europe, so it is a great time to visit.
