A point of extreme activity, the port of Mbour is the second largest fishing port in Senegal. It is here that you will be able to attend (around 5pm) the return of the fishermen, sometimes returning from several days at sea. In the middle of the colourful pirogues, the women scale and shell the fish, before selling them on the spot. The smell and the effervescence that reign there are indescribable. Further on, transporters wait for the cargoes to be transported to the regions or taken directly to Dakar, before reaching European markets.

M'Bour est passé en peu de temps de quelques milliers à près de 200 000, les habitants de la brousse étant attiré par l'activité autour du port. Les femmes de pêcheurs vous expliquerons comment elles gèrent les affaires en commun (polygamie) en attendant le retour de leurs maris qui doivent aller de plus en plus loin chercher un poisson raflé en priorité par les navires usines.

The arrival of fishermen is unusual to see. Everything is done with old. Each is proud to have his findings. Fish are placed on the floor. Many different and intriguing varieties. We are in the heart of the Senegalese life. It is worth accompanied by a guide.
