Travels in Senegal: The Land of Peace and Purpose Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
Many travellers associate Senegal with the Door of No Return—the place where over two million Africans passed through Gorée Island on the way to the New World for centuries. While this is certainly a historic feature of the county, there’s so much more to experience.

And world-traveller Terry Lister has proof!

Terry escorts the curious reader along Senegal’s culture-rich coast as he explores national landmarks, stumbles upon unexpected African markets, and makes new friends along the way, notwithstanding debilitating language barriers. Of course, there are the familiar squabbles with border patrolmen and taxi drivers. Yet all these experiences are what make this amusing short-read both educational and unforgettable.

If you’ve got one hour, you’ve got time to travel to Senegal: The Land of Peace and Purpose.

    This a very interesting book told by the author as he visits Senegal in 2017 and reviews his adventures in the western African country. It is presented in a more relatable manner than the average guide to an area. Often I felt as if I was actually traveling with a friend experiencing this part of Africa, instead of reading a the usual book of facts you see so often. Now I wish I could visit myself. An excellent choice.

    Travels in Senegal: The Land of Peace and Purpose is a great history and cultural lesson on the African country of Senegal as well as aa travel guide as detailed by the author. I knew very little about Senegal other than a passing mention in most history books. This book has definitely changed that. Highly recommended.

    Travels in Senegal is a short read, but it is also a very interesting one. I've traveled overseas and been all over the US, but I have never been there. I find other countries and cultures fascinating, and wanting to learn more. This little book gives a great insight to a place some have only dreamed of.

    Well done.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 12, 2025

    I know little about this part of Africa, and most of what I know has come from reading Terry Lister’s travelogue. This is a small guide to mainly Senegal, which I did not know was a French colony, and was surprised to learn that the local language has now overtaken the colonial tongue in everyday usage. It was no surprise to learn, however, that problems exist for a traveller with hiring taxis that are overpriced, and the unsolicited help that asks for money for doing next to nothing, but trying to fleece a tourist. In a country, where the average salary is one US dollar per day, I suppose it is understandable that such enterprising individuals are there. Along with some history, that I always find interesting, this makes for a concise guide.

    I borrowed this book thanks to my Kindle Unlimited subscription, and I read it between my phone and my tablet using the Kindle app.

    I have read some books by this author, and it is always a pleasure to read about his adventures in different countries.
    This time, he shares his adventures in Senegal through 50 pages, accompanied by some of his pictures from the trip.
    Full of anecdotes and things you can expect in this African country. A must-read for all travel lovers.
