I flew Air Senegal from Dakar to JFK. My flight was cancelled, delayed by 4 hours, then one of my bags was not delivered to my destination! This happened on September 9th, so it's been almost 2 months! Customer service is not helpful at all. It seems like they are dragging the case until I have to give up. The agents even hang up on me while I'm on the phone. I've been very reasonable and patient in waiting for my bag. The thing is that my bag contains valuable items that include 5 custom made coats that I designed and had tailored by a professional.

What can I do?

I am looking for wholesale independent(outside of sedima and other giants) animal farmers, particularly chicken and pork, also open to other animals such as goats and cows etc. Please point me to the right direction.

French: je suis à la recherche d’éleveurs de poulet et de porc en grande quantité(en dehors de sedima et autres géants), je suis aussi ouvert aux éleveurs de chèvres et de vaches, même de pintades. Veuillez vous rapprochez de ma personne si vous en avez des détails s’il vous plaît.

What is the best way to go to Dakar from Toubakouta?

Is there a garage in Toubakouta for sept place? Will I need to take a moto taxi to Sokone and use the garage there? Do I need to change sept places, and garages at Kaolack?

Thanks for your help!

Cause if not I'm gonna be runnin from da police

Im trying to book a flight from Dakar to Senegal but (1) nothing is shown on the website of Air Senegal; (2) when I go to flights trackers nothing appears to be leaving or arriving Saint Louis Airport. I don’t mind paying for a taxi myself but I prefer to spare myself the hours of the ride.

Is there any other carrier that covers the route? Or what other option may i have? Thanks

Que pensez vous du récent débat de twitter sur AWA ?

(Répondez en français si vous voulez, ça ne me gêne pas du tout.)

I met a friend from Europe who was in Senegal earlier this year and had a great time there. (His main priority was birdwatching.)

I intend to travel to Senegal one day. However, I would like some books or resources that reliably explain the level of poverty or economic progress in Senegal.

As an observer of world politics, I am well aware that there is a lot of nonsensical propaganda about foreign countries - so, for example, I won't automatically trust a "World Bank report".

Can you recommend some sources that you believe?

Thanks!

Hi everyone, I've been very involved in cycling recently so I was wondering if there would be anyone interested in going out with a group and for your information I'm staying in Rufisque

Dm me please available.

Moving to fakar soon...

Are vehicles relatively cheap to buy in Dakar? What are some affordable/reliable vehicles you'd recommend? Need it for like commute to work (15 minutes), grocery runs, or around the city from time to time.

I need something with AC.

Any recommendations?

Hello,

I’m in Ziguinchor and trying to go to Farafenni in the Gambia. Any advice or guidance on how to make this trip?

I’m guessing I’ll need to go to the garage in Ziguinchor that is on the north side of town, but after that I’m completely clueless. Should I be asking to go to Farafenni, or do I need to switch transport at the border once in Gambia.

I see the border post in Senegal on that route is in Senoba, and I also see the last town in Senegal is Digante. Should I be asking to go to one of these places, and then get a car from there to Farafenni?

How does this route work?

I appreciate any assistance you all can offer

I'm going to Senegal for about three weeks in December/January. I mainly want to eat, read and relax. I don't need to do a ton of activities. As far as I understand, travelling between towns takes time and isn't super comfortable i Senegal, so I only want to do so when it's really worth it. My budget is around $100 USD per day.

This is my itinerary so far, and I would love feedback on it! Are any of the places I'm planning on going to not worth it? Should I reprioritize how much time I spend each place? Is there any other places that I should visit instead? Recommendations for what parts of each city/town to stay in? Places to eat? Things to do and see?

Day 1-2: Dakar
Day 2-7: Saly (or another beach town like Toubab Dialaw – maybe including a half-day safari in Bandia)
Day 7-9: Joal Fadiouth (should I stay by the coast, or is Fadial as nice?)
Day 9-10: Travel to, and stay the night in, Dakar
Day 10-15: Saint-Louis (including Djoudj)
Day 15-17: Lompoul desert
Day 17-21: Dakar (including Goree and Lake Retba)

I have questions about remote working in Senegal, here as a thought experiment:

Key data:

• Job in a country without a double tax treaty (DTT or DTA), full tax burden in the country of origin.
• New main residence in Senegal (>190 days per year). Depending on the salary, this results in another 20 % to 43 % personal income tax on the remaining net salary. [1]

Not a very attractive option in my opinion, is that the intention?

I have read that there are tax incentives for expatriates and digital nomads in Senegal such as [2]:

Tax Exemption: On income earned outside Senegal

Reduced Tax Rates: Depending on their employment status and industry.

Tax Deductions: Expenses related to their work

Everything is apparently specified in the ‘General Tax Code of Senegal’, ‘Investment Code of Senegal’ and ‘Decree No. 2020-1045’ - are these available online anywhere?

Is there specialised advice for this case? I'm surely not the first with these questions.

Hi!!

We’re going to travel in senegal from mid november until the end of december. Since malaria pills in Belgium are super expensive I was wondering if it is easy to buy Malarone in Dakar?

Thanks in advance!

Hi! I’m looking for information on where I can find cars for hire with chauffeur in Dakar. My family will be traveling from the US to Dakar with a toddler to visit family and take care of some business for a total of 5 days. I would like to hire a safe car with a driver for the entirety of that time including DSS airport pick up and drop off. I got information for one through an Airbnb host but would like to see other options. English speaking a plus. Appreciate in advance for any leads

Hello! I am planning an architecture project in Senegal and would like to have more information about the construction laws in the petite cote area. Is there a document that describes the setbacks from property limits, the height requirements, etc.?

First, and foremost I’d like to thank the Senegalese people for being so hospitable, friendly, welcoming, during my first few days in your amazing country (easily one of the coolest places I’ve visited).

Second I have a random question. I speak next to no French (and even less Wolof) so I’m not sure where else to ask this question.

I boarded a sept place this morning and prior to departure the driver took a few small pieces of what I think was colored paper (one orange and one yellow), folded them up and stick them in the grate in the front of one of the AC vents. Then upon leaving the Gare he handed one to me (I’m riding shotgun) and gestured for me to throw it out the window.

I’m not certain if this is cultural, superstition, tradition, or simply someone who has unusually specific behaviors regarding their garbage.

I’d love to be enlightened. As a non French speaker many things are a bit confusing.

Thanks in advance, and once again thank you for having me in Senegal!

Hi guys! I’m moving to Senegal soon with my family and I’m looking for fun places to visit, so if you have any suggestions please write them down.

Hi, I'm traveling to Dakar for a few weeks to study abroad. I will be living in a homestay. I am Black American and have been on estrogen for over a year, so most people cannot tell that I'm assigned male at birth. I studied abroad in South Africa and was able to successfully hide my transition, but if I told anyone there, it's a very different social climate.

I dont plan on telling ANYONE that I'm transgender while in Dakar, and I plan on asking my coordinator who will be notified of my trans identity (instructors, homestay parents, etc). I am changing my name and sex on documents, but that won't be finished until after the trip, so administration will know of my identity.

Im nervous, does anyone have any tips or any advice??

The guy has been married 7 times!!! I do not understand how some men can still beat their wives in 2024.

Hi! I’m going to be backpacking through Senegal around Christmas time, I’m just wondering if “sept place” and other transport will be running on Christmas Day itself? Also will restaurants/shops/bars be open on this day itself? Thanks!

Hey guys! I look at gaming cultures around the world and I am a racing game fan. I have asked the following questions on multiple subreddits and I will do the same on here, because I want to find out more about the gaming scene in Senegal. My questions are:

What is more popular? Console or PC?

What was more popular in the late 90s and early 2000s? Console or PC?

What racing game was popular in the late 90s and early 2000s?

What do people who like racing games in Senegal play today?-(I know it might not be the most popular genre, but for people who enjoy it, what do they play?)

In general, what games are popular today in Senegal? Thanks for your responses!!!!
