Tips for travel

The best time of year to visit Senegal is from November to March, during the dry season. However, Senegal’s wet season is very mild and is often an ideal time to visit when hotel prices are low and tourists sites are quieter. As a majority-Muslim country, it is better to avoid Senegal during Ramadan. In most tourist-frequented spots, however, restaurants and bars will still be conducting business as usual.
