  • Get in

    There is a daily one-hour flight to Ziguinchor from Dakar, which sometimes continues to Cap Skirring, the main coastal resort. The 16-hour Casamance Express steamship excursion departs from Dakar every Friday and returns from Ziguinchor each Monday. The boat has air conditioned cabins and a restaurant. From Dakar, one can also drive to Ziguinchor via the Transgambian highway, crossing the Gambia River at the Farafenni ferry. This 280-mile (450-km) trip can be covered in one day, but it is more comfortable to take the road via Kaolack in Senegal to Banjul in the Gambia.
