Best places: Things to dos in Senegal

Started in 1887 & completed only in 1963, this large mosque features an 87-m. minaret.

👍👍 I must admit i havent been inside the mosque. Even without being i side, this particular part of Dakar is just out of the world. From sunrise to sunset, this us one place that takes ones breath away with its mere natural scenary. Best time - prayer time of course. Best time to take a picture early...

Safari park with giraffes, rhinoceroses, zebras & other wildlife, plus a restaurant & gift shop.

Opened in 1962, this museum & memorial documents the history of the Atlantic slave trade.

🫤 The museum was an idea proposed by Senegal's first president Léopold Sédar Senghor over 50 years ago, and became a reality in 2015. For its sprawling size, the museum didn’t offer exhibitions worthy of its 14000 sqm. All exhibitions, accept for the one of African woman leaders one, are in French. S...

👍👍 A big mosque, with a North african style in Dakar, for me it has a lot of Moroccan architectural aspects. Like all mosques you can't enter if you are not a Muslim, but still merits a visit

👍👍 Very cool experience, even though it is probably hard to classify as a real safari. You get driven around in a car, where it is easy to see the wildlife and take good pictures. The guide was helpful and spoke English and French perfectly, and allowed for photo stops during the tour.

Completed in 2010, this 49-m. bronze statue depicts a woman, man & child looking out to the sea.

Hilltop 1864 peninsular lighthouse offering scenic views, guided tours & summer music performances.

👍👍 Wow. Just Wow. This bridge didn’t just meet my expectations, but surpassed them! Not only is it a stunning link between both parts of Saint Louis, but at night, oh at night! It lights up into a thing of utter beauty. Walking, driving, cycling, crawling, anyway you decide to witness the magic of thi...

👍 Dindefelo Falls are one of the nicest and rarest waterfalls I’ve ever visited. Located in Dindefelo village in 35km from Kedougou region. The falls take its source at Dande mountain. You can enjoy the falls By swimming in its big and fresh natural pool. 4 stars only because of the roads. From Dakar...

👍👍 Le musée est vraiment superbe et je recommande vivement de faire la visite guidée avec Juliette qui est passionnée et passionnante. Juste dommage qu’il n’y ait pas énormément de pièce sénégalaise mais ça vaut vraiment le détour.

👍👍 We went today a group of friends to Loman Art House to admire the place, the art inside it and the cuisine. We ordered in advance Moroccan food. The place is an oasis of beauty, calm and happiness. The art is original and telling. The food was fantastic (entrees followed by three types of tagine and...

👍👍 Beautiful space to have a coffee or something from the restaurant. It’s quiet, very good wifi (50+mbps), and the staff are very welcoming. We stopped here for some coffee and juice as we were sightseeing and close by at marche sandaga. They have cultural events and a very nice library where many peo...

A high salt content increases buoyancy in this unique, pink lake offering swimming & canoeing.

👍👍 Such a beautiful and peaceful boat ride through the mangroves! Seeing the different bird species up close and just being able to refuel with the beauty nature offers us. Highly recommend especially if you need to blow the cobwebs out of your mind so to speak. You can stop at one of the restaurants a...

👍👍 Toddler approved ;-). It is very clean and well kept. The price is right and you can see the efforts to invest in the place and improve overall living conditions of the animals. The hotel and restaurant are nice. The personal are friendly and helpful. We had an excellent and restful stay. More impor...
