What are people saying about Dakar

David_L, Apr 2026

A "Not to Be Missed" Full Day Tour

Don't be afraid to visit Dakar, it is a wonderful experience! This full day tour provided a city tour and all the fabulous architecture, both new and old; insight into the religious aspects of Dakar, and the historic UNESCO site- Goreé Island. We saw and did it all with Samba safely navigating through what appeared to be the chaotic traffic of a bustling city. Our guide, Babacar, showed his pride in his country and did a fabulous job presenting important facts and personal insights into not only Dakar, but several other aspects of Senegalise life. We shared the ferry ride to Goreé Island with about 100 middle school children on a school field day and their exuberance of what was probably a first time boat ride for many added to the excitement of the short trip. Once we arrived on the Island, we saw 100s more school children learning about the slave history of Senegal. Before we began our tour of the Island we sat down for an authentic Sengales dish with rice, fish, carrots, casaba and tamarind...it was delicious! (Tip: Be sure to ask for some chili peppers if you like it hot.) Since it was a private tour, Samba brought us by a grocery store for a quick stop to pick up some snacks before getting us back to the cruise ship and hour before all-aboard time.

Bandia Park Safari (Minimum 2 Participants)

Safari and a tasty lunch

The safari was very satisfying. It's important to get to Bandia Park as early as possible because this safari is quite popular. My favorite animals to see were rhinos, many monkeys, warthogs, and giraffes -including baby giraffes. Following the safari we had a tasty meal of jollof rice at a restaurant in the Medina nieghborhood of Dakar. Our guide Mamadou was an excellent driver and thoroughly knowledgeable.

Mind blowing

Being in Senegal for the first time, I did not know what to expect. However, Pape brought our trip alive with his excellent knowledge about Senegal specifically Goree Island, and other main attractions in the Dakar. I will definitely recommend him as a tour guide in the future to friends and also if I should come back to Senegal, I will definitely request him.

Wow. Eye opening....

Wow. Eye opening. Thrilling. Not to be missed. The guys met us OUTSIDE the port gate on two mopeds with helmets. Cover up or wear lots of sunscreen. Bring water. A fascinating look at Senegalese society including back-alley breakfast shops and a delightful lunch at his aunt’s home. Some French very helpful.

I think the tour gives a...

I think the tour gives a comprehensive view of both Dakar and Goree Island. Goree in and of itself is a must if you are ever in this part of the world; the island is a historical reminder of the perils Africans faced during the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Overall, I felt safe, heard, and understood, while also seeing the major tourist sights in Dakar.
