Senegal Travel Forum

I am looking to arrive in Senegal in the next couple of weeks and would like to bike about the country...I'm not bring a bike with me...is it possible to rent bikes in Senegal and start biking from Dakar into the southern portion of the country? If this is possible any recommended routes and locations in Dakar where bikes can be rented?

look here and see if you can find any links to the government run or sponsored sites for tourist information, for these places. ( www.towd.com )

i would check also ( www.globetrekkertv.com ) they may be something there that will be of help to you.

Hello!

You are highly welcome in Senegal!
I think it will be possible to rent a bike in Dakar, but........ rainig time is not already finished and that fact can hurt you!
Going from Dakar to the South do not forget to visit the Sine Saloum Delta; it is a lovely place with many creeks an birds and there is also a noational park.
I suggest you one lodge in Toubakouta: Les Coquillages.

When you continue to the Casamance you will pass the border to arrive in the Gambia(Banjul)
You can have a look in the Gambia; import is to visit the Tanjeh Museum

After you can cross the border at Jiboroh, to arrive again in Senegal (border place is Seleti) From here you can continue direction Ziguinchor, the capital of the Casamance or............ you visit us in our centre in Abene!
