One of the safest countries in West Africa. Dakar is vibrant but petty crime exists. Casamance region in the south has had some instability but tourism is growing. Beach areas are generally safe.
Do not drink tap water.
Check advisories for Casamance region. Dakar traffic is chaotic. Strong Atlantic currents at beaches.
Tip 10% at restaurants. Small tips for taxi drivers and hotel staff. Generous tipping is appreciated.
Casual but modest. Senegalese dress beautifully — you'll see stunning traditional fabrics daily. Cover up at mosques.
95% Muslim. Very tolerant and peaceful Islam with Sufi brotherhoods. Respect prayer times and mosque etiquette. During Ramadan, be discreet about eating in public.
