Senegal Tours & Holiday

At the time of writing, British and US nationals do not require a visa for a tourist visit to Senegal. Australian nationals will require a visa prior to travel. Requirements can and do change, so it is essential to check the current rules at the time of booking, again at balance payment, and once more approximately two weeks before departure.

Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your return date and contain a minimum of two blank pages, as this is a common requirement of local immigration authorities. Some countries also require the two blank pages to be opposite each other. Failure to meet these requirements may result in being denied boarding or refused entry on arrival. For full entry requirements, check the FCDO Senegal travel advice page or contact the relevant embassy or consulate.

As with travel to most parts of Africa, we strongly recommend consulting your GP or a specialist travel clinic well in advance of your Senegal trip. For a stay of less than one month, you will typically be advised to have immunisations against Diphtheria and Tetanus, Hepatitis A, Typhoid and Meningitis. The use of a DEET-based insect repellent is also highly recommended throughout your trip. For guidance on travelling with prescription or over-the-counter medicines, visit NaTHNaC TravelHealthPro.

Comprehensive travel insurance is a condition of booking with Undiscovered Destinations. Your policy must cover medical expenses (including Covid-19), emergency repatriation to your home country, and the full duration of your Senegal holiday, including any optional activities you choose to undertake during the tour. Please read your policy carefully before travel to ensure you are fully covered.

Senegal is one of West Africa's most stable and welcoming destinations, but as with many of the countries we visit, some infrastructure and accommodation standards - particularly in smaller towns - may be more basic than travellers are used to at home. A degree of patience and flexibility is part of the experience of travelling off the beaten track. Our local guides and operations team will always work to resolve any issues as swiftly as possible, and the warmth and hospitality of the Senegalese people more than makes up for any occasional shortcomings.
