If you are looking for a true insider's perspective of Dakar, then, you have found it. I have a great admiration for this country. So, I will introduce you to the most spectacular places of interest and all the highlights from an insider's view point. I will provide you with a view and experience of Dakar that only locals would know. I will show you things that would take weeks to research and months to experience. There is so much to see, so many interesting stories of the different ethnic groups. So, it is my absolute pleasure to show off these places and tell stories related to them which makes History come alive.
I won't be successful until I make sure that you take home a memorable experience that makes the most incredible country in the World.
I am sure that with the right insight and guidance, you will leave Dakar wanting more and wanting more people to visit us and learn about our great city and Everything we do.
Looking forward to showing Everything Senegal has to offer.
