About Tunisia 

Senegal is one of the most popular tourist destinations in West Africa, which is home to Dakar and Saint Louis, two dynamic cultural hubs. Senegal is also home to several diverse wildlife parks, including the Niokolo-Koba National Park, the Oiseaux du Djoudj National Park, and the Bandia Game Reserve.

Senegal is known as the land of “teranga”, which is the Senegalese value of hospitality, respect, and community. Visitors to Senegal are sure to experience a warm welcome on their arrival, as well as throughout their visit. 

 

Culture

Senegal has a rich and varied culture dating back centuries. Music and dance play an integral role, and distinctive traditional music such as Yela, the rhythms of which mimic the sound of grain being pounded by female villagers, is still practiced by many people in Senegal. 

In addition to its rich musical culture, Senegal is famous across Africa for the quality of its jewelry. Local artisans sell their exquisitely crafted gold and silver jewelry in regional markets all over the country, and the large amber necklaces traditionally worn by Fulani women are a common sight.

 

Best time to go

The best time to go to Senegal is during the winter dry season from November to March, when temperatures are marginally cooler and the Saharan harmattan wind blows away any trace of humidity. Our top things to do in Senegal include cruising along the Senegal River, which forms the border with Mauritania, and meeting Senegal’s many diverse cultures.

 

Health & Safety

All travellers are required to have a PCR COVID-19 Clearance Certificate issued by a recognized facility within 48 hours from the date of departure, in line with WHO guidelines. A yellow fever and Malaria vaccination certificate is required from those travellers coming from areas of risk.
