Frequently Asked Questions


Is it safe to travel to Senegal??

Senegal is known for being a safe country, and while visitors — especially female solo travelers — should take the typical precautions you would when traveling alone, visiting solo here shouldn't present any big problems. The locals are friendly, and robberies and violent crime against tourists are pretty uncommon.


What is Senegal most famous for??

Bustling, colorful Senegal is one of West Africa's most popular destinations, and also one of the region's safest. The capital, Dakar, is a vibrant city famous for its lively markets and rich musical culture.


Is Senegal poor??

Like many African countries, poverty is rampant in Senegal. Also, GDP per capita has actually declined over the past 25 years. 


Can you drink alcohol in Senegal??

Senegal doesn't have a legal drinking/purchasing age of alcoholic beverages. However, because it's a predominantly Muslim nation that respects Islamic law, people in general are expected not to drink.


Do they speak English in Senegal??

The official language is French but other languages are spoken as well. Many people in Dakar do speak some English. Local languages include Wolof, Pular and Serer. Most of the residents of Senegal and Dakar are Muslim, so it's important for tourists to keep this in mind.
