Just an hour from Dakar, Pink Lake (Lac Rose) is one of Senegal’s most famous natural wonders. Officially known as Lac Retba, this incredible saltwater lake is naturally pink, thanks to a special micro-algae (Dunaliella salina) that produces its vibrant color. The lake's high salt concentration (up to 40%) allows visitors to float effortlessly, just like in the Dead Sea.
