100% Recommend Continental Tour
This was the absolute BEST Tour ever! I advised the company and my guide this was my first overseas trip ever and they made sure I got the full experience while making sure I was supported at all times. My driver and guide were professional yet personable. I honestly feel like I made friends. I am a cook so wanted to know more about the culinary side of Senegal. They delivered! I got to try many different foods and even talk with some peanut farmers in their fields. Stopped at a roadside sandwich market and tried a Ndambe sandwich. I am already planning my second trip with Continent Tours. Not sure if this is allowed, but feel free to contact me personally if you have any questions.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for sharing such a wonderful review. It is truly rewarding to hear that your first overseas trip was such a positive and enriching experience. We are glad that our team was able to provide both support and meaningful cultural connections, especially through the culinary experiences and local interactions in Senegal. Knowing that you felt welcomed and made lasting friendships means a great deal to us. We sincerely appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you again as you plan your next journey with Continent Tours.

Wonderful week in Senegal
To celebrate our wedding anniversary, we traveled from our home in the United States to Senegal. We are so grateful that our travel agent connected us with Continent Tours. Our itinerary (from September 25 to October 1, 2024) was tailored to our interests in culture, history, and religion. It was our first trip to Africa. We learned so much from our kind tour guide, Abou Pouye, who knows a million facts and stories about Senegal, West Africa, and beyond. To see Senegal through his eyes opened our hearts to carry a spirit of this country inside us forever. Our driver, Ibou, was skillful, happy, and reassuring. Through some flooded streets in Dakar, crowded roads in market towns, and busy highways in between, Ibou's driving was stellar. At the Museum of Black Civilizations in Dakar, we learned why Africa is truly the cradle of humanity. Our tour also included the Africa Renaissance Monument, Goree Island (a slave-trading center in the 15th-19th centuries with the haunting Door of No Return), Pink Lake, the Great Mosque in the holy city of Touba, Shell Island, Saly, and the Somone Delta. We felt sad to leave Senegal, land of the lion and the sacred baobab tree, a place where rainfall is a blessing because water is mercy. We encourage all travelers, especially our fellow Americans, to visit Africa with Continent Tours. Peace be with you. -- Linda and Paul Pompili

The Best of Senegal,8 Days: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dakar.
How much does The Best of Senegal,8 Days cost?
+
Prices start at $4,500 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dakar usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does The Best of Senegal,8 Days take?
+
Plan for about 192 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dakar is not rushed.
Is The Best of Senegal,8 Days worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dakar, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule The Best of Senegal,8 Days?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is The Best of Senegal,8 Days suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 192-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Best of Senegal,8 Days?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dakar can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dakar and add a light layer if any part of the 192-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Best of Senegal,8 Days start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dakar within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dakar?
+
On Outty we rank every Dakar experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Explore Dakar and Gorée Island full day, Taxi DSS to DAKAR,SALY,RIU HOTEL,SOMONE ( please check Options), Full-Day DAKAR city / GOREE Island Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dakar?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dakar?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in The Best of Senegal,8 Days?
+
Included: Roundtrip airport / hotel transfers; Meeting and assistance on arrival and departure; Dinner; Breakfast; and Admission to all listed sites. Not included: Visas and international flights; Gratuities; and Expenses of personal nature. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does The Best of Senegal,8 Days include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 4 listed pickup locations in and around Dakar.
What languages is The Best of Senegal,8 Days offered in?
+
It is offered in English and French. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for The Best of Senegal,8 Days?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is The Best of Senegal,8 Days wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
