Senegal is located in western Africa. It is bounded by the Sénégal River to the north and northeast, separating it from Mauritania. It is also bordered to the east by Mali, to the south by Guinea and Guinea-Bissau, and to the west by the Atlantic Ocean. The independent country of The Gambia consists of a narrow strip of territory that extends from the coast eastward into Senegal along the Gambia River and partially isolates the southern Senegalese area of Casamance.
