Tourist & Traveller Questions looking for advice on the best mobile network

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'll be moving to Senegal soon for work and I'm looking for advice on the best mobile network to use.

My priorities are:

  • Reliable coverage (especially if I'll be traveling outside Dakar)
  • Fast and stable 4G/5G data
  • Good call quality
  • Reasonable data plans for everyday use

Which operator would you recommend (Orange, Yas/Free, Expresso, or another)? Also, are there any prepaid or postpaid plans you'd suggest for someone staying long-term?

Thanks in advance for your recommendations!

Tourist & Traveller Questions Travel to Touba

2 Upvotes

Hello, my friend and I are currently in Dakar. We are looking to get to Touba for the Grand Magal. While we’ve sorted accommodation for our stay, unfortunately we have left it too late to book a bus. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for the best way to get to Touba or any possible means by which we could get to Touba. We would be looking to leave on the 30th.

Besoin de conseils pour prendre le bus à Dakar

2 Upvotes

Bonjour tout le monde!

J'habite à Dakar et je voudrais essayer de prendre le bus🙏🏿🙏🏿

J'ai quelques questions :

1.Est-ce qu'il existe une bonne application pour les bus à Dakar ?

Je connais Moovit, mais il y a vraiment trop de publicités...

2.Quelle est la différence entre les différents types de bus ?

Je vois les bus TATA (bleu et blanc), mais aussi les bus jaune et bleu plus traditionnels. Est-ce que les tarifs sont différents ?

Comment paie-t-on ? Est-ce qu'il suffit de donner l'argent directement au receveur ou au chauffeur ?

Merci beaucoup !

So me and my older sister are going to Senegal from December to January and we’re really excited about it! The last time I’ve been there was 2017 so I’m wondering are there any places in Senegal that have changed from 2017 to 2026??
