What are the likelihood of me getting a Visa? I'm from South Africa

Hi All

I'm just a wanderlust who loves travelling, meeting new people and enjoying different cultures. I'm planning a trip to Senegal, Dakar for a solo holiday and now that I saw this forum, I hear Praia calling my name for a visit. I understand a Visa is issued on arrival but have also heard of people being sent back after having paid for hotel reservations etc. I just want to visit for about 5 days ( joys of employment and limited work leave days), get a feel of the place and possibly visit again in the future for a much longer visit. What are the likelihood of me getting a Visa? I'm from South Africa if that makes a difference? Thank you kindly for the responses.

Hi

I did have a bit of a challenge at customs when i arrived even though I had my itinerary etc. Praia was awesome, even though I didn't spend a long time there. It's very chilled and laid back. My kinda town. I would definitely go back to visit.
