Senegal Travel Guide 🇸🇳 | The Ultimate No-BS Itinerary

Day 1️⃣: Arrival & Dakar First Impressions 🛬 Airport & Visa: Visa on Arrival = Super easy! No yellow fever cert needed. Pro tip: Bring a pen! 🚗 Dakar Transfer: ~1.2 hours (if no traffic, which is rare lol). 🍽️ Dinner @ Restaurant Le Lagon 1 Old-school beachfront spot 🌊—solid food, not mind-blowing but zero regrets. 🏨 Hotel: Radisson Blu Dakar Budget-friendly luxury with a SUNSET VIEW that’ll wreck your Instagram feed. 🌅✨ Day 2️⃣: Dakar Highlights 🚢 Goree Island (Slave Island) Ferry from "Ferries for Ile de Goree" – 5,200 XOF round trip (PASSPORT REQUIRED!). No passport? Sketchy "guides" will "help" for extra $$$. Avoid if possible! Spend 3 hours max—haunting history, colorful colonial houses. ⏳ 🗿 African Renaissance Monument Dakar’s highest point—panoramic city views! Great for pics. 📸 🌊 Cap des Almadies (Westernmost Point of Africa!) Hidden behind a local market—follow the tiny path to the epic cliffside landmark. Don’t miss: Fresh sea urchins & coconuts sold nearby! 🥥 Day 3️⃣: Beach Vibes in Saly 🏨 Royal Horizon Baobab Resort All-inclusive deal: 4,000 XOF (lunch → next day 5PM, free booze!). Beachfront bungalows 🛖 + private Atlantic coast access. Warning: Dinner starts at 7:30PM—ask multiple staff about "free" drinks (some try to charge). 🍤 Alternative Eats: Marisco Saly (local seafood spot)—cheap but might be sandy. 😅 🚣 Afternoon: Mangrove Boat Tour Price hack: 6,500 XOF/person (90 mins). Our boat guy was LEGENDARY—no upselling, fluent in bird facts, stopped for photos. 🌿🦜 DM for his contact! (French only.) Day 4️⃣: Pink Lake Adventure 💖 Pink Lake (Lac Rose) Morning: Laze at the hotel, then head out post-lunch. Must-do: Sand dune buggies! (~20,000 XOF) Worth every penny. 🏍️💨 Half-day is enough—return to Dakar by evening. ⚠️ Survival Tips: 💰 CASH RULES: ATMs suck. Exchange euros/USD upfront. 👛 Pickpocket Alert: Even hotels aren’t 100% safe. 🛂 Flight Hack: Avoid Royal Air Maroc if possible (lost luggage nightmares). 🤝 Locals: Generally friendly, but stay street-smart. #SenegalTravel #WestAfrica #Dakar #PinkLake #AfricaAdventure 🌍✈️
