Iles de la Madeleine

There are many islands off the coast of Senegal. One of them is called Iles de la Madeleine and it is a national park located just four kilometers from Dakar. 

I was lucky enough to go there and see this beautiful place for myself. Getting there requires hiring a boat and hitting the high seas.

There are rare birds and boabab trees on the island. There is also a guardian spirit who makes wishes come true. Of course I made a wish!

See the beauty for yourself!
