Hello all! I am excited to be travelling to your country next week and I have a few questions that I wanna ask. My flight is scheduled to arrive at around 2am in the morning. Can anyone confirm if the Dem Dikk buses from the airport to Dakar still run after midnight? And do I need to book it in advance from their website? How do I get smaller notes of CFA? I heard ATMs only withdraw 10k CFA notes and sometimes it can be hard to get a change. I heard that locals use money apps to transfer money directly using their phone number. I downloaded Orange Money but it looks like I need a Senega ..read more

I am absolutely neutral on what happens in the US elections but I was stunned yesterday when I asked my Senegalese supervisor of almost 13 years at the factory that we work at in Ohio his thoughts about President Trump possibly going to jail. He stated that he is a registered Democrat but will be voting for Trump later this year after the New York guilty verdict because “the current president of Senegal was locked up for 11 months and he still became president. This is what is happening right now in America; same thing with other countries in the world but it is happening here I can’t believe ..read more

How are the last 2 weeks of July and August. Yes, I checked the weather but am curious. Is it raining all day every day, is flooding common, is it more of a comfort thing. I don’t mind heavy rain or humidity, fine if I need rain boots. Is it severe or nothing that rain boots can’t solve. submitted by /u/Normal-Dream-7386 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I am considering spending a week or so in Senegal in July, but am somewhat nervous about how bad the rain is going to be. I don't mind humidity or high heat, but wanted to understand what the rain patterns are like. Does it generally rain the entire day? Or is it more bursts of heavy rain or rain that comes only at night? Is it stupid to plan a trip in July? It's a bit difficult to find good information on this, so apologies if this has been asked before. Thanks! submitted by /u/shampainjohn [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hi! I’m a traveler from Belgium who’s in Dakar right now. I recently heard a lot about Senegalese Wrestling/lutte, and would love to go watch some this weekend in the Arene Nationale du Senegal. However, people have been telling me I maybe shouldn’t go because the crowd can get very dangerous and violent. Has anyone in my situation gone to watch wrestling? How did you find it? Or can anyone advise me on what to do? Thanks! submitted by /u/Belgiantraveler123 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hey all! I am thinking of visiting your country in June (around Eid). I really want to include Touba in my itinerary but I am unable to find any accomodation online. I’ve also heard this is because hotels are banned throughout the whole city. Not sure if this is true but if it is, then what advice would you give to someone trying to spend one or two days there? Is it easy to ask locals to rent a room? Feel free to share any contact if you have any! Thanks! submitted by /u/profil_secundaria [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
