Mboune

Mboune lies in the eastern Ferlo, near the dry valley around Ranérou. Rain fills shallow seasonal pools among wooded depressions, while the old Ferlo valley runs west towards Lake Guiers and the Senegal River. Fulbe pastoralists move their herds through this country in search of water and grazing; the pools and the pastures surrounding them are especially valuable during the rains. As the dry season advances, the animals must range farther to find water.
