You could say we didn't really give Senegal a chance but
we were put off from the beginning with the obduracy of the border Customs in
refusing to stamp our Carnet de Passage. The hassle this caused, by
chasing round Customs offices and a visit to Dakar, where we certainly didn't
want to go, put us off Senegal from the beginning. Our advice to fellow
travellers is not to come here, but to go directly from Mauritania to Mali and
take the risk of an Al Qaeda kidnapping. It is far preferable to the
hassle from Senegal Customs.
Add to that, the attitude of Senegal police to foreign
tourists and the fact that the country is broken-down and heavily polluted
but still charges French prices, - not worth
it! |
