6 Reasons to Take a Senegal Tour
                     6 Reasons to Take a Senegal 
Tour
Senegal has long been 
one of West Africa’s 
most-visited tour 
destinations, though it 
is often overlooked in 
favor of East Africa’s 
popular safari 
destinations, like 
Tanzania or Kenya. 
Unlike East Africa, 
Senegal is less than 
eight hours from New 
York by direct flight, 
 and less than five  
hours from most 
European airports.
Saint Louis
A visit to the enchanting 
city of Saint Louis is an 
essential component of 
any Senegal tour, 
despite its distance 
from the rest of the 
popular tourist areas of 
Senegal. Sitting at the 
mouth of the Senegal 
River, Saint Louis 
played a vital role in the 
colonial history of 
Senegal, and it’s 
  architecture remains a 
testament to that 
colonial influence. 
The City of Dakar
While many West 
African tours will flee 
the capital cities in 
favor of the quieter 
countryside, Dakar is 
an essential part of 
any Senegal tour. 
Dakar sprawls like 
most West African 
capitals, but its 
downtown area is 
compact and clean, 
with quiet streets, 
c liffs overlooking the  
ocean, and beachside 
bars and restaurants.
The Lompoul Desert
The Lompoul Desert 
offers a Sahara-like 
experience without 
having to leave the 
comforts of Senegal or 
drive too far off the 
beaten path. Almost 
any Senegal tour that 
visits Saint Louis will 
drive by the road to 
Lompoul, making it a 
convenient way to 
break up the long drive 
  and have a relaxing 
night in the desert.
Saly and the Petit Cote
If you would like your 
Senegal tour to 
include some time on 
the beach, look no 
further. The Petite 
Cote is conveniently 
located within driving 
distance of almost all 
of Senegal’s most 
popular tourist 
destinations, making 
it an easy place to 
stop and relax for a 
 couple of days.  
National Parks and Game 
Reserves
While Senegal tourism 
may be better known 
for its cultural tourism 
or beaches, Senegal is 
also a paradise for 
wildlife enthusiasts. 
The parks are reserves 
are spread out across 
the country, however, 
so plan your Senegal 
tour carefully to make 
sure you limit drive 
time and get the most 
  of your Senegal 
vacation time.
