Bakel Travel Guide
Senegal
Bakel is a town in eastern Senegal, close to the country’s border with Mauritania and Mali. Its recorded population is 0, so traveller information for the town is limited compared with Senegal’s larger urban centres.
Travellers arriving by air use Bakel Airport (BXE), the airport serving the town. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so Bakel is better suited to visitors interested in the inland Senegalese setting than to a beach break.
