Dakar

Get to know Dakar

Lively music, traffic honks and the constant chatter of workers are heard on the crowded streets of Dakar where a luxury car can be seen blitzing past alongside a wandering herd of goats. This West-African city is a vibrant mix of bustling markets and urban hubs. Perfect for day-trips, tiny islands off the city’s coast provide some tranquillity from the hectic urbanism of the mainland. Île de Gorée, especially, stands as a testament to history’s tragic trans-Atlantic slave trade.
