Ever seen a lake that’s pink in col­or? That’s what is weird here, thanks to the pres­ence of cer­tain plank­ton and min­er­als. It is locat­ed some 30 kilo­me­ters north­east of Dakar. The rea­son behind the water being pink is the huge pres­ence of Dunaliel­la sali­na algae in the water body. It is known for its high salt con­tent, up to 40% in some areas. It will sure­ly catch your eye in Sene­gal. Swim­ming in this water is safe, so pack your swim­suit and head here.
