A hunter shoots down a bird as he arrives with other hunters to the Ngor Siid Ndour Arena, where they will display their catch to community members, as well as traditional and political leaders, during the Diobaye Hunt in Fatick, on July 13, 2026. Hundreds of hunters gathered to celebrate a 700-year-old hunting tradition known as Miss Diobaye (“The Diobaye Hunt” in the Serere language) that marks the beginning of the rainy season in Senegal’s Fatick Region. According to Serere tradition, seven centuries ago the hunting of a particular animal brought an end to a period of severe drought. Ever since, each year a high priest known as a Saltigue tells hunters during a divination ceremony which animal must be hunted for the rains to come. The identity of the animal is known only to initiated men, who keep it secret. (Photo by PATRICK MEINHARDT / AFP)
