  1. Saloum River, Africa

  2. The Saloum River rises about 105 kilometers east of Kaolack, Senegal, and flows into the Atlantic Ocean. The significant Saloum Delta is located at its mouth, which is protected as Saloum Delta National Park. The river basin lies within the Kingdom of Saloum.
    Saloum RiverMangrove forests occupy a 5-kilometer belt on either side of the river almost 70 kilometers upstream.

    Saloum, just like its sister Serer kingdom Sine, is known for its many ancient burial mounds or "tumuli" containing the graves of kings and others. Also, the kingdom has numerous mysterious stone circles whose functions and history were unknown until recently.
