Step by Step
After pick-up, your guide takes you first to the imposing 52-metre-high African Renaissance Monument, where a brief stop allows you to appreciate the views over the peninsula. The route continues to the Presidential Palace, surrounded by gardens and guarded by mounted guards - a perfect place to understand the country's political history.
A few minutes away stands the Great Mosque of Dakar, whose green towers dominate the city skyline. The guide comments on the importance of Islam in daily life and points out the art deco details of the minaret. The experience concludes at the bustling Kermel Market, a circular colonial building where you'll find tropical fruits, wax fabrics and wood carvings; an ideal setting for practising the art of bargaining.
In just a few hours you'll get a clear picture of historic and contemporary Dakar, always with the cultural context provided by your private guide.
