Best places: Zoos & Aquariums in Dakar, Senegal

🫤 The museum was an idea proposed by Senegal's first president Léopold Sédar Senghor over 50 years ago, and became a reality in 2015. For its sprawling size, the museum didn’t offer exhibitions worthy of its 14000 sqm. All exhibitions, accept for the one of African woman leaders one, are in French. S...

👍👍 We went today a group of friends to Loman Art House to admire the place, the art inside it and the cuisine. We ordered in advance Moroccan food.

👍 I have to say my expectations were low for this hypermarché since the other auchans in Dakar are not great quality. But I was pleasantly surprised. It’s great to see this size of a supermarket in Dakar (not a hypermarché as they are in Europe - more like a normal sized supermarket - but still good)....

👍 A cozy place to spend by the ocean, have some cocktails and relax in peace. You can also try scuba diving and paddling with their professional team. My Mojito was just great 🙌🏻💫

👍👍 Everything you can get here. Better prices

👍👍 Variety of products, various sellers and relatively expensive electronics. You can also find interesting books at Fnac. Unfortunately, all are in French.

👍👍 Very quiet and welcoming place. Clean and perfect for outings with family or friends.

Vibrant venue featuring a gallery & numerous artists' studios selling paintings, sculpture & more.

Expansive parkland with a lake, fields & woods, plus a zoo hosting a variety of exotic wildlife.

👍 Very nice craft market. However, be careful with the prices, do not forget to negotiate! Some sellers can be a bit pushy, but don't blame them there's a lot of competition, just push them back nicely! Otherwise you will find here variety of handmade and beautiful crafts.
