Dakar Expat Community for Dakar Expats

Welcome to the Expatriates Dakar Community!

Salut & salam alaikum and welcome to our community for Dakar expats! Our private network helps you to settle in easily when moving to or living abroad in Dakar: Get to know like-minded expatriates in Dakar in a casual way, find reliable information and tips about expat life in Senegal and meet fellow expats from Dakar’s international community at our first-class InterNations events.

Curious to explore other communities in Africa, e.g. our chapter for Abu Dhabi Expats? Or you might think of stopping by at our Brussels Expats community on your next weekend trip.

Make the most of your Dakar Expat Life

The westernmost city on the African mainland offers an exciting intercultural experience for expats, starting with cultural highlights, like Lake Retba or Lac Rose, a pretty little lake with a distinct rosy colour,, the folkloristic festivities on the occasion of Senegal’s Tamkharit, up to getting a taste of traditional thieboudienne. The InterNations community helps you as an Dakar expat to enjoy your expat stay in Senegal to the fullest. Our members have already come across many of the questions you’ll have when starting your expatriate life in Dakar and kindly offer you their assistance, from ʺIs there a good alternative to the relatively costly CASINO supermarket chain in Dakar?ʺ up to ʺDoes all expat housing come with an air-conditioning system, or do I need to buy one extra?ʺ.
