Depending on your free time

What fits into your schedule

3 hours

In town, between two meetings

Without leaving the peninsula, with a car and a driver who know when the roads are clear.

The PlateauKermel market, the cathedral, the presidential palace from outside, the Théodore Monod Museum of African Art.
The Corniche OuestThe African Renaissance Monument, the Soumbédioune craft village, the ocean at every bend.
AlmadiesThe westernmost point of mainland Africa, and a table facing the sea at sunset.
Half a day

A short escape

A morning or an afternoon is enough, as long as you leave outside rush hour.

Gorée IslandWorld Heritage, twenty minutes by ferry from the Plateau. Museums closed on Mondays.Discover →
Ngor IslandFive minutes by pirogue from Ngor beach: a swim, a fish lunch, back in the late afternoon.
The Pink LakeAbout an hour from the centre: the colour of the lake, the salt harvesters, the dunes by the ocean.
A full day

Towards the Petite Côte

The right choice if you are staying in Diamniadio or flying out in the evening: the Petite Côte is on the way to the airport.

Bandia ReserveA safari by four-wheel drive: giraffes, rhinos, antelopes, less than half an hour from the airport.
The Somone LagoonA pirogue trip through the mangroves and birdwatching.
SalyThe Petite Côte beach resort: lunch, the beach, and a hotel room to change before the flight.
A weekend

Extending the stay

Two days between the end of your meetings and your flight home: Senegal beyond Dakar.

Frequently asked questions

Before you make your request

I only have a few hours between meetings: is that enough?

Yes, if you stay on the peninsula: Plateau, Corniche or Almadies, with a car and a driver. Tell us the exact slot and we will suggest what fits without putting your next meeting at risk.

Someone is travelling with me: what can they do during my meetings?

We organise their programme alongside yours: guided tours, Gorée, the Pink Lake, the beach. Mention it in your request.

Do I need to book in advance?

For a guided outing with a car and driver, allow 48 hours if possible. For a weekend in Saint-Louis or the Saloum, a week gives you a choice of accommodation.

How long should I allow to get to the airport?

Allow 45 minutes to an hour from central Dakar outside rush hour, and keep a wide margin: for an evening international flight, leave Dakar around 3 pm. From the Petite Côte or Diamniadio, the airport is closer.

Does going through Teral Travel cost more?

No. The request is free for you and each provider charges its own rate: Teral Travel adds nothing to the price.
