Kédougou Region is an administrative region of Senegal. It was created in 2008 and had formerly been a department in the region of Tambacounda, so it is one of the country's newer first-level divisions. The region has a number of ecotourism attractions. GeoNames lists the town of Kédougou as the seat of this first-order administrative division and gives the region a population of 245,288, and the region shares its name with that town. The atlas also holds the entry for the town, which lies in the south-east of Senegal near the borders with Mali and Guinea.
