Iwol

Iwol is a Bedik village high in the hills of southeastern Senegal, regarded as the founding village of the Biwol. A great baobab known in Bedik as amack stands at its entrance; offerings and sacrifices made there honour the ancestors. Baobabs and other trees shade the village's communal work and dances. At Bedik celebrations, beer made from local cereals is shared with inhabitants and guests from neighbouring villages.

The later city of Kédougou lies here.
