Why Dakar, Senegal should be your next Africa trip 🇸🇳

Why should #senegal be your first or next Africa travel destination?

This video will help you plan where to sleep, eat and explore in mainland Africa’s westernmost country. Senegal’s peninsula-shaped capital, #dakar is ranks high up on my top travel destinations on the continent.

From the impressive African Renaissance Museum, the rose coloured Lake Retba aka #LacRose and the hauntingly beautiful #GoreeIsland ... you will not regret a visit to Dakar!

Thank you for sharing about Senegal! We relocated to Senegal 8 years ago from America and it has been our best decision yet! Now we have investment projects all over the country!

I just found out that my roots are from Senegal… We come from Saint Kitts, but, after looking a little deeper, we’ve discovered we are Senegalese… I love it. I accept it and I am on my way. ❤🙏🏽🔥

[Imizi_Zungu]

I’m a South African by birth but I’ve always been drawn to Senegal. Call it deja vu but it is the only country in Africa outside my birth land that I truly feel at home. I love the Senegalese people

[aishawezi]

Senegal is definitely on my travel bucket list.

[gwengibson]

I visited Dakar in 2011. Lived there 2012-15. Visited in 2019. Traveled to other areas in Senegal. Will visit in 2024. I love Senegal. Did language at ACI!

This video should be streamed on big mainstreams like BBC africa or something it’s absolutely well produced and I have enjoyed it a lot! Can’t wait to welcome you in Somalia 🇸🇴 and show the Somalia media never shows!

I am looking forward to visiting next year! I met a nice brotha, Muhammad from Dakar, Senegal. He owns a restaurant in Philly. I love the people, food, history, everything! His mother was so happy when we spoke on the phone.

This reconfirms my yearning to go to Senegal as my first destination in the African continent. It just seems like a peaceful and overlooked country. I must say Sara you are gorgeous omg.

I am senegalese living in Europe and i enjoyed your video, you did a great job showing beautiful parts & culture of my beloved country. Spots to visit with my family when we're next back there.🙏👏💪✌️🤗

[annikagraber]

I was missing Senegal today so I searched for a video and yours popped up. Crazy enough, I visited the ACI Baobab school because of some friends I met and Ibou gave me a tour. I was there the day they painted the mural behind him. What a small world! Thanks for reminding me of happy times :):)

[Blakkbarbii]

I’m Senegalese and currently live in California! Thank you for making this video ❤

[adamlasry]

As a Moroccan, I am taking my family to visit Senegal next year. In fact, my DNA showed I am 6% Senegalese. Dakar will be my first call. In fact, I am thinking of buying a holiday apartment if I can legally do that. Senegal is my second country. I would like to see more Senegalese youth come to Morocco to study, live and work.

As someone who is planning on visiting Senegal this is a great video. Good work.

[Robin-nmme]

Great video ! I'm french, I spent 3 years of my childhood in Dakar and hold such great memories from this place. I wish I can go back one day.. !
