Baobab forests in Senegal: which ones to visit?

Hello, In late February, a small group of us who are passionate about botany would like to walk through a baobab forest. However, we’ve read that more and more baobab forests in Senegal have been declassified. Which forests (aside from the treetop adventure park) are still the most interesting to visit? Is it still possible to see landscapes of baobabs (not just one or two isolated trees)?

Thank you, and have a great evening! Christophe

Hey there; just to start, I’ll say straight up that Senegalese people generally don’t like trees. That said, you mentioned tree-top adventure courses—well, it was in that same area (Nguekokh) that you used to find the densest baobab forest. But word is, over the last ten years, more than half of it has disappeared. The baobab’s just one example. Other species are threatened or even on the brink of disappearing. One forest that’s still miraculously standing: between Samba Dia and Fimela, a forest of *rogners*. Surprisingly, in this little region, the locals actually tolerate the sight of trees.
