This video will help you plan where to sleep, eat and explore in mainland Africa’s westernmost country. Senegal’s peninsula-shaped capital, #dakar is ranks high up on my top travel destinations on the continent.

I am indian. I work and live in dakar senegal. Nice place and good people. Welcome to senegal
I’m a South African by birth but I’ve always been drawn to Senegal. Call it deja vu but it is the only country in Africa outside my birth land that I truly feel at home. I love the Senegalese people
I’m Gabonese living in New York , I love Dakar so much, I have been there more that 30 times, always ready to go to Dakar
That makes two of us! How can one ever get tired of Dakar? 😁
I think Gabonese and Ivorian are the most represented diaspora in Dakar.
@@sarajabril Do you have any hotel recommendations/and areas to stay. Heading there in 2 weeks with family

@@ismenie100 Radisson Blu, Terrou bi, Pullman. The are five star hôtels. But in y neighborhood there's few airbnb. Search for Illiyin Mermoz.
I’m from Somalia 🇸🇴 but grew up in Canada 🇨🇦. I’ve always wZnted to visit Senegal 🇸🇳. Thank u for tge great visuals
Thank you for sharing about Senegal! We relocated to Senegal 8 years ago from America and it has been our best decision yet! Now we have investment projects all over the country!
That’s amazing! I wish you lots more success 🙌🏽
That’s soooo dope. I’m on my way In April!!
Hello my dear what are some project that one can invest in senegal...am from canada
@@globetrotter_nic you can invest in many sectors in hôtels cars renting homes building agriculture fishing etcc
As a Moroccan, I am taking my family to visit Senegal next year. In fact, my DNA showed I am 6% Senegalese. Dakar will be my first call. In fact, I am thinking of buying a holiday apartment if I can legally do that. Senegal is my second country. I would like to see more Senegalese youth come to Morocco to study, live and work.
Senegalese love Moroccans come and visit us hope you won’t regret it
You'll be welcome!! somehow we are all brothers, our country is rich by love, emotion, peace and respect. hope you and your family gonna enjoy your second land!!
@@userinconu6076 treu❣
"In fact, my DNA showed I am 6% Senegalese."😂 Why not 1% Swedish?🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@internetcensure5849 This is true. As a Moroccan I must have had great grandparents from Senegal and Mali. IAM very proud of my heritage. In fact, I am planning to visit Senegal next year.
BIG LOVE AND RESPECT TO SENEGAL AAAAAND TO MOUSSA SOW (Fenerbahce 💛💙) OUR LEGEND AND BIG LOVE ....FROM TURKIYE 🇸🇳 ♥️ 🇹🇷
I just found out that my roots are from Senegal… We come from Saint Kitts, but, after looking a little deeper, we’ve discovered we are Senegalese… I love it. I accept it and I am on my way. ❤🙏🏽🔥
I am senegalese living in Europe and i enjoyed your video, you did a great job showing beautiful parts & culture of my beloved country. Spots to visit with my family when we're next back there.🙏👏💪✌️🤗
Makes me so happy that you felt well represented by this video! Here’s to your next trip!
I am from Eritrea 🇪🇷 love 💘 Senegal 🇸🇳 and Africa 🌍!!!!!
I left America to live in Senegal. Inchallah Senegal doesnt adapt more ways of the European. Inchallah Senegal keeps its culture and land without being controlled even more by outsiders. Inchallah the Teranga doesnt backfire on them the way the Teranga of the Native American Indian backfired on them. Inchallah the French influence leaves the minds of the children and Inchallah the Wolof history is put back in the schools.
Africa
Ameeennn !
Sénégal is just another puppet country to the west and especially France. You will be disappointed on that front
I visited Dakar in 2011. Lived there 2012-15. Visited in 2019. Traveled to other areas in Senegal. Will visit in 2024. I love Senegal. Did language at ACI!
Small world! I went to Dakar for the first time in 2017 and have been back almost every year 😁
I'll love to be there
This video should be streamed on big mainstreams like BBC africa or something it’s absolutely well produced and I have enjoyed it a lot! Can’t wait to welcome you in Somalia 🇸🇴 and show the Somalia media never shows!
Aww thanks so much! Cannot wait to collab once in Somalia.
This reconfirms my yearning to go to Senegal as my first destination in the African continent. It just seems like a peaceful and overlooked country. I must say Sara you are gorgeous omg.
Couldn’t agree more! In the future I’ll do a video on how to pick your first African travel destination 🙌🏽 …and thanks 🥹
@@sarajabril Beside being an amazing TH-camr , what do you for a living ?
One of the best African countries🇸🇳❤️
I'm from Indonesia.. hope i can visit senegal❤
I was missing Senegal today so I searched for a video and yours popped up. Crazy enough, I visited the ACI Baobab school because of some friends I met and Ibou gave me a tour. I was there the day they painted the mural behind him. What a small world! Thanks for reminding me of happy times :):)
Ohh lovely! I’m happy that my video brought back good memories. Also, Ibou is the sweetest
I am looking forward to visiting next year! I met a nice brotha, Muhammad from Dakar, Senegal. He owns a restaurant in Philly. I love the people, food, history, everything! His mother was so happy when we spoke on the phone.
I’m Senegalese and currently live in California! Thank you for making this video ❤
I am Senegalese but living in Ohio America is no good
I'm from Pakistan I 💓🇵🇰 long live 🇵🇰 nice beautiful thanks 🙏🇵🇰❤️💜♥️🌹
As someone who is planning on visiting Senegal this is a great video. Good work.
Hope you enjoy your trip!
Yes leave America and come there
thank you for acknowledging that jollof rice originated from Senegal
In fact Jolof is a region in Senegal and is sometimes used by locals instead of Senegal
Omg really?❤
@@chinenyeezema525 yes instead senegal we say jolof in wolof
@@marni12196 lovely I’m Nigerian so I love learning about other cultures in WA
@@chinenyeezema525 I'm glad to help. If you have any further questions I would be happy to answer them
Very informative.
Always wanted to see that statue of man, woman and child in real life. Wow!!!
It’s so impressive. Hope you get to see it!
The Renaissance…it’s even more amazing up close. I climbed every stair in July 2021, after having major back surgery in January . I will never forget
@@gurlbuttafly We pray that you're much better now. Excellent job you've done to enlighten us all. That statue - The Renaissance - is most impressive from your description. Very kind of you. Thanks so much. Wow!
This is making me so excited!! Thank you
Thank you for sharing this wonderful video. Really enjoyed you taking us on a tour of Dakar! This makes me eager to visit Senegal and check out all of the spots you spotlighted.
Truly a love letter to my beautiful country thank you ❤
Suuuuch an amazing Video! Dakar is now on the list it looks like a little piece of paradise 😍

Nice Video, a lot of work went into it, well done 😄
I was searching more about Senegal for a French assignment and your video made my day! Not sure why I was feeling so heavy but your whole video made me better in a number of ways. I also have to point out that it's so well done! Congrats to you, I fell in love with this place's sights and values (especially Teranga). Such a complete video with meaningful recommendations, thank you for mentioning the black and woman owned place, a lot of people will support her amazing work. Have a great day!
Amazing video. Bravo for your work, the video shootings...
Nice video!

Gracias por la data !!! Thanks for the data !!!
Cant wait to visit Dakar soon 🙏🏿
Love the cool and relaxing tone of your voice
Thank you 🥹 I’m always self-conscious so that’s great to hear
Beautiful mosques and beautiful people around there..
Jërejëff waye, super nice video. I just realised it's time to go back to my beloved Senegal and visit again my friends! I can't believe my last time in Dakar and M'Bour was in...2005! But I needed to get to know other countries in Africa 😁 That's why. For me Senegal is teranga and lots of sabar percussion & dance. The best music spirit in the continent. I used to stay with a local family in HLM, sorrounded by griots and music atmosphere, but, well, now at my age maybe I should consider a fancy apartment like yours! Need a more quite sleep 😅😅 Cangrats, super good work. J'ai trop de nostalgie because of you now 😬 Carles.
I really enjoyed this video!! I went to Senegal for the first time February 2022. It's definitely on my list of places to visit again
Hope you can visit again soon!
Watching from North Carolina (NC), USA.
New sub.
Like #803.
Very interesting presentation.
Thank you for sharing your information!!!! I was trying to decide on which African country to see for my visit to the continent. I believe you helped me decide.
Great video!
Yay, that’s great! I was also thinking about making an entire video about how to pick your first African country to visit 😁
@@sarajabril That would be so helpful, bcuz many don’t have a point of reference. Picking a country on the continent to visit for the first time, is like playing darts blindfolded.
Think u ❤
Peace and love. I'm Guyanese. And I dream of Africa I wish for senegal
wonderful video
Tres bon!
Nice na!
Nekh na turope!
Sending clip to my friends.
I just have to acknowledge your spirit is so warm and genuine and soothing voice. I'm researching Senegal to go on vaca/winter holiday before my life gets super busy this spring. This video was very informative, recorded in a dope way and respectful love that so much Sara.❤❤ I've never visited Africa and I'm super thrilled my first African country is actually one of my top 5. Thank you for all your suggestions!!! Merci
Thank you so much for this comment! I felt so self-conscious about these voice overs 😆 I’m glad the video was helpful ❤️ You’ll enjoy Senegal, I’m sure!
I just wanted to tell you how beautiful this Vlog was . Thanks for sharing and adding all the little touches . Truly this was really great . I pray for my videos to eventually reach this level of help and excellence !!
I just subscribed to your channel! 🙌🏽❤️ Thanks so much. I truly appreciate it.
