Dakar Travel Safety Guide — Senegal

Safety Score: 7/10 · Value: 8/10 · Beauty: 7.1/10

Dakar sits on the westernmost point of continental Africa, jutting into the Atlantic. It's a city of mbalax music, vibrant art (Senegal has one of Africa's strongest contemporary art scenes), and the haunting memory of Gorée Island, the former slave trading post. The city is one of West Africa's most pleasant and manageable.
