I have no doubt you’ll have a wonderful vacation in my home town. I will show you how to live like a local. Preparation is everything, so here my recommendations that will help you prepare for a trip to Djollof! (SENEGAL)

• YOU NEED A VALID PASSPORT A LEAST 6 MONTH FORM EXPIRATION DATE!

• NO NEED OF A VISA.

• No Need to Cover Up! Senegal is a majority-Muslim country, but you don’t need to worry about covering your knees, head or shoulders in most areas. 

  In larger villages and cities, most local women don’t wear a hijab, and you won’t be showing disrespect by not covering up like you might in parts of India, Malaysia or the Middle East. In fact, many local women prefer traditional Senegalese dresses — exposing their neck and arms — or modern clothing like shorts and skirts. When ladies do cover their heads, it’s typically not for religious purposes, but to shield them from the intense African sun. Bottom line: dressing as you normally would in a hot, humid climate, like wearing shorts and a tank top, won’t elicit stares or make you feel uncomfortable here.

• Senegal is Safe! 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.

• How is your French. Few locals speak English in Senegal. Instead, you’ll hear a mix of Wolof and French — it’s slightly more common to find people who might speak some Italian, Spanish or even German, thanks to the internet. With the help of GOOGLE translate and other application your French will go a long way…

TERANGA TRAVELS WILL COVER ALL YOUR GUIDE NEEDS. WE SPEACK FRENCH,ENGLISH, SPANISH AND WALLOF. WE HAVE OUR OWN TRANSPORTATION.

• VACCINATION: The CDC recommend the following vaccinations for Senegal: hepatitis A, hepatitis B, typhoid, yellow fever, rabies, meningitis, polio, measles, mumps and rubella (MMR), Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis), chickenpox, shingles, pneumonia and influenza.

COVID-19 vaccination is recommended for travel to all regions, both foreign and domestic. 

Though a yellow fever vaccine isn’t required to enter Senegal, it’s recommended, as are malaria pills and a typhoid vaccine. Using a good mosquito repellent, and wearing sunblock are all essential. It can also be extremely dusty during the dry season, so having allergy pills on hand can also be helpful. TERANGA TRAVELS will provide face masks if needed.

Don’t be alarmed to see horse carts, roaming goats and cows as well as buses packed with locals all sharing the same dirt roads with cars and pedestrians — this is normal. 

-It’s alive, it’s the TERANGA!!!
