The flight starts with a privileged view of the Statue of Independence, a modern symbol of Senegal and one of the tallest sculptures in Africa. From there, the flight continues to the Pink Lake (Lac Retba), famous for the pink hue of its waters due to the high concentration of salt and the algae that inhabit it.
