Hi all,

Newbie on the Senegal forum? Don't know how to start?

This thread is for you ;)

We invite you to introduce yourself on this topic, to share with us your expat story if you are already living in the country,
or to tell us more on your expat projects in Senegal if you are planning to move there.

It will enable us to help you better but above all to wish you a warm welcome.

Welcome on board!

I have came here to see how I like it.  The taxi drivers all seem to con you and took me to this lost landlord that overpromised and under delivered.  I have not had air conditioning though he said the unit did.  Hot water on and off.  Half the light bulbs working and doesn't fix.  The refrigerator still not working over a week.  And charged 440. For 2 weeks.  Horrible bed. No extra linens and only 1 old towel each.  Mosquitoes every night biting me.  I couldn't see late the night after flying and he didn't want to rent 1 wk and now I know why.

Hello and welcome !


Sorry to hear about your bad experience.


Were you looking to relocate to Senegal or was it for tourism ?
