About

Île de Gorée sits 20 minutes by ferry off Dakar. The whole island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the centrepiece being the Maison des Esclaves — a sobering memorial to the transatlantic slave trade. Beyond the museum, the colourful colonial-era streets, beach and clifftop fort make for a full half-day.
