Countries that border Senegal
5 land neighbours: the Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Mali and Mauritania. Each one has a page of its own.
Why this one is hard
5 neighbours to keep in the right order.
17 countries in Africa have more than its 5 land borders; it is the same as the Republic of the Congo, Côte d’Ivoire, Kenya and Uganda. Of the 10 possible pairings among them, 3 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. Mali is the most connected of them, with 7 land borders of its own. All of them are on the Africa map with Senegal, and on the world map with everyone else.
