Deux Mamelles

Deux Mamelles (Ouakam, Dakar) – these are twin hills (or twin peaks) located in Ouakam (a suburb just outside of Dakar). These 105 meter-high hills got their French name since they are shaped like breasts. On the hill facing the sea stands the Phare des Mamelles lighthouse, while the hill that’s further inland bears the African Renaissance Monument.
