CASAMANCE This is the southern geographical region of the Country, under the State of Gambia. Located between the Gambian border and the Guinea Bissau, we distinguish the Low Casamance (coastal region of Ziguinchor and Cap Skirring) and the Middle Casamance (Kafountine, Djendé). These are the most touristic areas, with beautiful coasts. The most internal area of the region is the Upper Casamance (regions of Kolda and Sédhiou). The Casamance is crossed by the river with the same name, whose length is 300 km. The tropical climate, interrupted by the raining season, makes the Casamance the Garden of Eden of Senegal. Population: data not available Administrative system: from the administrative point of view, the Casamance is divided in three regions: the Region of Ziguinchor, the Region of Kolda and the new-born Region of Sédhiou, which was created at the end of 2008. Surface: 30.000 km2 7
