Tambacounda (تامباكوندا)
Tambacounda is an important crossroads, 420 km southeast of Dakar. Apart from the iron-framed railway station, the Hôtel de la Gare and the colonial Préfecture building, there is little of interest to travellers, but it's a good place to stay if you want to explore the surrounding area. Tambacounda is a good place to stay if you want to visit the Niokolo-Koba National Park just south of town.
There is limited accommodation in town and there are only several restaurants.
