Fatick Region

Fatick Region stretches from the Atlantic-influenced Sine-Saloum Delta to Senegal’s border with The Gambia, encompassing tidal channels, mangroves, salt flats, and inland savanna. The Saloum’s branching waterways, known locally as bolongs, shape fishing communities and provide habitat for waterbirds and other coastal wildlife. Fatick lies in an important Serer cultural area, where community traditions remain central to local life. The Serer Xooy divination ceremony, practised in the area around Fatick, is inscribed on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
