Warning: Risk areaThe notebook of Parc national du Diawling
Seek calm beyond the next point.
Diawling protects the environment of the low-delta of Senegal, where variations in water control the landscapes and the presence of birds. The park's floodplains extend to peripheral areas, including the Tboul Cat Laguna System. The discovery requires a distinction between these protected areas and the possibilities of access that are actually allowed.

General presentation
Parc national du Diawling
Diawling protects the environment of the low-delta of Senegal, where variations in water control the landscapes and the presence of birds. The park's floodplains extend to peripheral areas, including the Tboul Cat Laguna System. The discovery requires a distinction between these protected areas and the possibilities of access that are actually allowed.
To understand what Diawling National Park is, you should look at Diawling National Park and Tboul Cat Wetland. These places give us a view of a territory marked by wetlands, riverscapes, coastline and natural spaces and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 3 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: security to be read before any displacement; level depends on the perimeter and access retained and time, rates, access and unverified terrain conditions with managers. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. However, some sites require more walking, elevation or preparation.
