Country on the coast of West Africa

Senegal, officially the Republic of Senegal, is the westernmost country in West Africa, situated along the Atlantic Ocean coast. It borders Mauritania to the north, Mali to the east, Guinea to the southeast and Guinea-Bissau to the southwest.

It also shares a maritime border with Cape Verde. The capital and largest city of Senegal is Dakar.
