Mboro

Mboro is nearly sub-Saharan territory, so be sure to keep yourself properly hydrated. Though few tourists have issue with the local water not true in all of Senegal! stay on the safe side with bottled water, which is prevalent at boutiques. Small plastic bags of purified water are another quick, cheap, and cold alternative and are sold both in boutiques and by local women walking around with baskets.

Slyly hidden in a number of boutiques around town are fridges of cold beer. Senegalese favorites of Flag, Gazelle, and 33 chill along side a few imports such as Castel or Royal Dutch. In more drink oriented shops, one can find small bottles of liquor or standard table wines.

For a new experience, try a sip of palm wine. Sweet when first tapped, but quick to ferment and taste sour, this unique drink will knock you out if you don't take it slow! To find it you'll need to ask a trusted local to point you in the direction of a vendor. Don't be surprised if you end up in a chair in someone's home, a great experience will be had.
