Casamance River Banks in Kolda

The Casamance River runs through the Kolda region. Its banks offer a view of the landscape and daily uses of the water, which change with the season and rainfall. A riverside walk is neither supervised swimming nor an organised boat excursion.

Things to see and do

  • Find accessible river views from public paths
  • Observe vegetation and seasonal changes in the landscape
  • Ask a local guide about the river’s role in the region
  • Use authorised access points and leave the banks clean

Good to know

Check the state of paths locally, especially during and after rain. Do not assume swimming is safe or that a boat is available.
