Saloum River
River in Senegal
The Saloum River (French: Fleuve Saloum) rises about 105 kilometers east of Kaolack, Senegal, and flows into the Atlantic Ocean. The Saloum Delta is located at its mouth, in the protected Saloum Delta National Park. The river basin lies within what was the pre-colonial Serer kingdom, Saloum. Mangrove forests occupy a five-kilometer belt on both banks over sixty kilometers upstream.
