Hi Thank you for sharing this, it's the best Senegal video I have seen, I plan to have a 2 Week trip over Christmas/new year female travelling solo, l will fly into Dakar and I do want to see it, but like you I like being away soaking up village life/nature and will probably be travelling around rather than staying in one spot, where would you recommend?
Heyyyy so happy you got to watch my video. Congratulations on booking your trip to Senegal your going to have an amazing time. I would say spend a weekend in Dakar and then try a few days near Sali ... Then a week in Sine Saloum would be nice and a few days in Casamance the south completely rural. Super safe travelling around solo but if you need help happy to refer some drivers etc etc. Aribnb would be your best place at first instance for accommodation. Dakar can be a bit expensive. Hope this helps! Don't forget to sub and follow me on Instagram new content coming soon.
@@raymanmufasa thanks much. I'm trying to figure out if they require a doctors prescription for all nutritional supplements like vitamin C. Some countries do
@@yassina-r6806 You should be fine, I took hundreds of products over, but do double check if you want to be on the safe side. Hope you enjoy your trip!
@@raymanmufasa What's the ratio of white people there? Teenagers to adults? My dad is moving the family there for work, meaning I'll have to go to school there too, and I'm a little nervous.
@@kevinkchao8 oh hey thanks for getting in touch, yes theres a huge french european community out there scattered between Dakar and Sali. Theres a bilinugal schools all over Senegal but I think you will find the most europeans Sali. If you check my very first video on Senegal you would of thought you was in Europe or something lol. Good luck with your move. Let me know when you'r out there.
Are you aware of how bad the health, health care system, air and food is there? Dakar has some of the most toxic air in the world. All of that is way worst than the U.S. Even their rates of C Sections is way higher than in the U.S.
There are more rural parts of Senegal ... yh I know it's very sad regarding the food and air ...., but most cities are overpopulated around the world. This couple with having old cars from the 90's is a bad combination unfortunately for Senegal and many other countries around the world.
@@raymanmufasa yes I know there are more rural parts of Senegal. That’s true in every country. The air quality in West Africa is a problem period. It’s worse than most people are even aware of. It’s a very unhealthy country to be in in general.
@@TheBodyScientist81 If your by the coast and or in the rural parts there is no pollution so I don't know what your trying to prove here but I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinions.
@@raymanmufasa Huh? Dakar is by the coast. You haven't noticed how how polluted it is? Just look it up. I'm not trying to prove anything. I'm stating facts, not opinions. What are you trying to prove? Lies?
@@TheBodyScientist81 We all know Dakar is heavily polluted. Dakar equates to like 1% of the land mass. Go to South East Senegal, South West, Casamance, North St Louis, East Senegal and South of Senegal they are some of the most untouched virgin lands on earth. of Course the city of Dakar is polluted I mentioned it the video for everyone to take note if you watched the whole thing.
I just spent over 2 weeks in Sénéngal and your cons are SPOT ON! I was hard to find vegan meals. I ate whole cucumbers, bananas and oranges as much as I could because the other option for me was rice and seafood for every meal. And the flies are gangster as hell. I spent the most money on internet. It is a nice country as a whole, though. I will probably move there soon.
Aight then well after about 8 videos this comment alone will make me pass on it. No Vegan? I had enough damn white rice AND GANGSTAH FLIES, 5 YEARS in the Philippines, where I could not even enjoy a nice morning on my own porch without hundreds of FLY BY's; and as a TH-cam creator with two channels over 100k SUBS I need good internet 24/7 everywhere I be; so, I guess I will stay here in THAILAND.
😮😮 i spent 1 week in senegal back in 2022. No flock of flies at all. 😮😮 hope i dont encounter them when i return this year... n i just found a list of Vegan Restaurants 😮
Kool vibe kaka. Dig the vibez. Quick tip to you, if you can get your hand on an independent audio source, like a voice recorder, or use the voice recorder on your phone, independent of the camera you use to record, it would make your vids even better. Keep troddin, maybe we will cross paths.
Yes Kaka, thank you for the kind words, I will take all that advice in. Will defo try that when I start vlogging again and ytes hopefully I will catch you around somewhere.
Hey Rayman! Long time no see! Thanks for this video, very handy as I'll be visiting Senegal next week for the first time. Looking forward to it 😎 Best wishes bruv and hope you're well
Hey Matt, good to hear from you. Just remembered when I visited the South of France and we drove up the alps together 🤣🤣🤣... Glad this helped. If you need any more advice about Senegal, let me know. They are very welcoming people so I am sure you will have a blast. Also just subbed you back! Safe Travels, Stay in touch!
Your Welcome, I would recommend the Sali area to begin with, which is an hour outside of Dakar. Theres more Ex pats in the area too. but my self I like to be far in the countryside. Airbnb would be the best best to begin with then making connections on the ground.
Thank you for sharing senegal! I've been to senegal 4 years ago. Totally agree with the food specially 'chebujin ' I'm not sure did I spell it right！ miss the people there also the are so pure that's why make the country safe, will visit there again definitely
And the dislike part of senegal that you manstion: pollution plastic Flys expensive food ...all thouse problems need to get back basic to the government. They need to tell the people what to do and how to keep their city healthy!
Thanks so much for your message. Yes beautiful country just need to make some more conscious decisions from the top down. Will definitely be back again soon. Miss this place.
Once you realized that you'd left your microphone, why would you still opt to record this video at the beach? Why not sit in the car or someplace where it is more quiet? Isn't it more important that the viewer receive the message than it is that we see a pretty background? I'm sorry to put this here. I wish that youtube offered a way to send a private message.
Thank for watching once again, hope you enjoyed! Don't forget to smash that like button for the algorithm and subscribe. Peace!

Ill be visiting Senegal soon. Thanks for the useful info.

I'm a South African that want to Travel to Senegal by public transport any ideas.
Hmm that's a tricky one ... not quite sure of the top of my head. Sound like an eventful journey though. Let me know how you get on.
Customs on senegal. Anyone know if they allow people to order and have ship vitamins, minerals shipped to them?
I took loads of herbs, vitamins, supplements over ... hundreds ... but that was as luggage not sure about their import laws and duties however.

@@raymanmufasa Indeed. I took a break also. Looking forward. Good work too kaka.
I would have watched this whole video but the wind was too much. The beach is almost always windy. Windscreen would be helpful.
Yh I know, I mentioned the wind and forgetting my mic at the beginning of the video
First as always....keep it up brother Mufasa
always appreciated!!! Gratitude
Hey bro, how you keeping I started another channel called Ray Inspire let me know your thoughts. 🙌🏾

To be fair depending on the wind is isn't actually that bad. But also I wanted to that dope ass view. It's priceless lol.
This was so very informative. Well done, and thank you for taking the time to do this video.
Thank you so much for such beautiful feedback. Really Appreciated.

Man great video. The wind got to me a little. Question if you moved there... what part would you move to and why
Sali or Simone as it is close to the capital then head out to Casamance every now and again. Sorry for the late reply bro.
@@raymanmufasa all good. Thanks for the reply. I'm learning. In senegal now. I like it, but looking for a longterm place to be at. Now I'm in Dakar.
😒😒
Wasssup?
I just came from Senegal and I totally disagree about the Senegalese hospitality. Absolutely not.
oh sorry you had a bad experience ...
Sound quality
I know man forgot my mic! Apologies
Looooved it! You’re one of us now, you’re Senegalese 🤎
Teranga, We are one! 🙌🏾
