The reason why Ngor beach is more crowded than Yoff beach is because Yoff beach has very strong currents and there’s more probability to drown meanwhile Ngor beach is very tame thanks to the Island that block most of the big waves. Also there’s more attractions in Ngor that’s why people prefer going there, it’s always overcrowded in summers and on Sundays. But yeah if you go there it’s always better to go to the Island for a better experience.

Thanks for the insights

Thanks for the video. I love the drone footage. Yeah the riots in Dakar are tame compared to the riots in the US lol. I want to go now and I'm going to have to learn French. This is one legit reason to learn French.

I know about 3 French words. 😅🤷🏿‍♂️😅

I'm American and flew into Dakar from the U.S. back in 2021. No one asked me before boarding my flight in the U.S about a yellow fever card....which I shouldn't have been asked since there is no high risk of transmission in the U.S. and falls under Senegalese law. But when I got to Senegal Immigration, I was asked for it. I didn't have it, so I had to dole out some cash (under the table). My thinking is that Immigration has no time trying to verify who is coming from what country (although newer systems are being put in place around the world to verify). Just because a person has a passport of a country where there is no high risk of transmission doesn't mean that is the country where that person is coming from. So Immigration asks everyone for a yellow fever card. That's just my assumption. I'm going to Kenya this month. Even though Kenya has the same rule and I shouldn't need a card, I went ahead and got a yellow fever shot last month anyway. Besides, I probably will do African and/or South American trips in the future that require a card. So the cost of the shot ($190) was worth it for me.

Thank you! I am going this December and this was great! Did you use a tour guide, hire a driver etc. or put everything together yourself?

[@travelconnect1]

Hello. I put everything together myself.

[@luckyjupiter3473]

I’m thinking of going in December too girl are you going solo or with a group

[@travelconnect1]

Hit me up on IG if you need assistance putting everything together. My IG info is in the description box of this video.

[@madisonclark9177]

Love this video. Do you have any tips or know any other KZbinr who can give a perspective on traveling there as a solo female. I don't find countries different in traveling as female vs male, other than nightlife.

[@travelconnect1]

I know a female who has visited Dakar solo. Just use your street smarts and don't do anything risky like going out at night and you should be good.

[@BarryKenny]

Great video, I’m going to Dakar in two weeks, and this was really helpful! Was there any problems in flying your drone? I was thinking of bringing mine. Thanks!

[@travelconnect1]

Thanks. I didn't have any issues at all flying my drone. However, if you want to fly it by the monument, you must first get authorization from security on the premises. It will self land otherwise.

[@BarryKenny]

@@travelconnect1 great, I can imagine they’d need air traffic control around that monument if they didn’t have some control! Will follow your channel, some fascinating destinations there. I’ll be going to Dakar in Senegal, Kotu in Gambia and a very quick tour in Guinea-Bissau, videos of all coming later!

[@blackice3395]

Great fucking video! God willing ill be there next year 🙌🏿

[@travelconnect1]

Thanks! It's an exciting city to visit

[@blackice3395]

@@travelconnect1 I'm super excited! Ready to see The Renaissance in person. Do have a question and this is important 👀 you said visiting Senegal you didn't need your Visa does that mean once I get to the airport there there not going to stamp my passport 🤦🏿‍♂️👀

[@travelconnect1]

A passport and a VISA are 2 different things. All countries require you to have a passport, but some countries require you to have a passport and a VISA. Senegal does not require U.S passport holders to have a VISA.

Love your content , how much roughly estimate should I save to travel to Senegal 🇸🇳

[@travelconnect1]

Thanks. I'm not sure how much you would need, but I personally can get by with $125 in spending money per day. But people are different. My sister would only need $50 per day. But my aunt likes to shop and would need about $300 per day. It all depends on the person.

[@GoTasteandSeeJennifer]

One more question, did you take the yellow fever shot???

[@travelconnect1]

Only if you're travel from a country that has a high risk of Yellow Fever transmission. Which the U.S doesn't (I had a straight flight from JFK to Dakar). But regardless, I have the vaccine anyway. I hope this helps.

[@GoTasteandSeeJennifer]

@@travelconnect1 yes, exactly. Thank you again!

Isn't drinking and nightlife considered taboo in senegal

If you're a Muslim. But many of the people in the clubs were not drinking alcohol.

What was the level of English in Dakar like? Would I struggle if I don't speak French?

[@travelconnect1]

Not many people spoke English. I traveled alone and got by using Google Translator.

[@sgtK0420]

@travelconnect1 Oh I see. And do locals mostly speak French with each other or other African languages?
