Lake Retba in Senegal is struggling to draw international tourists amidst the coronavirus pandemic. The lake is hugely important both as a tourist attraction and for providing free salt.

Senegal is well known for its musical heritage and sporting successes but less well known is a very unusual, and distinctive, lake.

For decades, people have come from far and wide to see Africa’s most distinctive lake. A ride to get a closer look costs about 40 US dollars. The unique colour of Lake Retba is caused by an algae that produces a red coloured pigment. It is used locally for skincare. The more you venture into the three square kilometre body of water, the more vivid the pink colour becomes.

“Especially that we are now creating a platform which is the African Continent Free Trade Area, it is important that we prioritise industrialization that which we will be able to trade among ourselves. It is important that we start creating value using our resources, so that we can share those products among African countries that will help us basically to create activities, jobs for the young people but also better use the resources from the continent, “Desire Asogbavi.
