My African VACATION & REPATRIATION with SenegalStyle TOURS! Individual & GROUP Day Trips IN and AROUND SENEGAL with LANSAR AUTO & MATAL TRAVEL SERVICES!

You can now BOOK YOUR TOURS & DAY TRIPS/LAYOVERS online, in advance, and we can schedule a car & driver (that speaks some English and French) for self guided tours! For SOLO TRAVELERS, an HONEST ENGLISH SPEAKING/BILINGUAL guide will be assigned to handle business transactions, translate the local flavor and tell you what you're looking at!

Sometimes, what you THINK you're seeing, isn't what you're seeing at all and having a CULTURAL TRANSLATOR makes your visit MORE INFORMATIVE and MEMORABLE.

We can also arrange ESCORTS to accompany you to SPORTING EVENTS, CONCERTS which is especially helpful if you have children, or, if you want to partake in the EXCITING NIGHTLIFE OF DAKAR but don't want to go out alone (clubs start jumping around midnight here!), we've got you covered for that as well!

When you book your tours just drop a note if you'd like to see a concert or sporting event and if something is scheduled, we'll get back with you with the dates, details and costs!

DAY TRIP - CITY TOUR OF DAKAR:

10:30am/10h:30 to 6:00pm18h:00 - Pick up at your hotel, B&B or the Port of Dakar if you are on a cruise ship but don't want to pay their higher per person prices. I normally start the tours AFTER the morning rush hour so our visitors can sleep in, have a nice shower and get breakfast. There's no reason to rush about and then sit in traffic smelling exhaust for an hour every where we go... It works out to be the same amount of time so just RELAX, get some rest, and trust me on this - you're on VACATION, remember?!

Depending on what side of town you're on we'll start the tour going the opposite way of the traffic flow so we can zip around town and visit our attractions unobstructed.

The highlights are pictured in the listing and we SPECIALIZE in 'off the beaten path' type tours. We'll take you to places you'll never find on your own in addition to what we're showing here. I can't/won't list everything because this would be TOOOOO LONG and we don't want the other agencies stealing our ideas!

1. The African Renaissance Monument

2. A VARIETY of HISTORICAL/COLONIAL buildings and homes

3. Goree Island & N'gor Island

4. Historic Train Station/Museum of Black Civilization and The Grand Théâtre

5. Place du Independence

6. MOSQUES & CHURCHES (the largest & second largest Mosque in West Africa are located here in Senegal!)

7. Various African Markets for SHOPPING (the good stuff!)

8. Phare du Mamelle

9. Various ART GALLERIES GALORE with time to EXPLORE!

We'll stop off for a nice local lunch on the beach between 2:30/3pm to get a cool adult beverage and some great food, take a breather and continue with our tour afterwards and then dropping you back off at your point of origin or wherever you'd like within Dakar.

Featured below is a very good video giving you an overview of the places that you'll see. Notice the streets are clean, the vibe is cool and you won't hear the sound of electric generators roaring in the background... the electricity works as it should and Dakar is a very lovely place to visit and a peaceful place to live and retire!

I know a lot about this subject as I'm American (my name is Sineta George - you can google me for a background check on TripAdvisor and The Lonely Planet a well and to read about my antics over the years!). I'm originally from Pensacola, Florida in the United States, immigrated to Senegal eons ago and have lived continuously here in Dakar since 1999!

TripAdvisor Reviews (winner of TWO Traveler's Choice Awards!) for:

SenegalStyle TOURS!

SenegalStyle African Drumming & Dance

SenegalStyle B&B

We're also RECOMMENDED in newest online/book addition of The Lonely Planet it's small but it's THERE and we're ONE of ONLY THREE! There's literally HUNDREDS of tour guides and travel agencies in Dakar/Senegal so this has always been and honor for me to be recommnded every year. I feel a sense of accomplishment too since I'm just a SOUTHERN BELLE from Pensacola, Florida, the only American guide and travel provider and the only woman... seems weird there's no women guides but in 25yrs, I've never seen another one!

Now to the video so you can see what I see every day!

RECOMMENDED AIRLINE: AIR SENEGAL

We recommend our local partners Air Senegal for two reasons: #1 reasonable airfares with SAFETY being their TOP PRIORITY and #2 BRAND NEW AIRPLANES, comfortable cabin space, great customer service & DELICIOUS Senegalese food featuring VEGAN MENUS!

Send an email to: SenegalStyle@gmail.com after you've determined your flight dates and shopped around for air faires. THEN contact me and see if Matal Travel Services can ARRANGE TICKETS, SOMETIMES AT A DISCOUNT... The international airlines often run local specials here in Senegal that aren't international or if the exchange rate is favorable, it could save $50 or more.

Also our airline taxes aren't as high as the US in particular, so again, this saves YOU MONEY! Be sure to check with us first! If you're going to be here for several days, we have MANY OTHER DAY TRIPS outside of the city to fill out your week and have you safely back in Dakar for dinner and dancing!

Thank you for looking and please email me FIRST at SenegalStyle@gmail.com with any questions, comments, concerns or problems you may have (including setting up a PAYMENT PLAN) and we'll work on your vacation or RETIREMENT, TOGETHER,
