Living in Saint-Louis

If you’re living in the Senegal city of Saint-Louis, or Ndar as it is called in the local language, but have arrived from other shores, you may well be eager to meet fellow expats. Saint-Louis is the oldest city to be created by Europeans on Africa’s west coast and its beauty has made it a UNESCO world heritage site. The area of Guet N’Dar, located on the Langue de Barbarie, a 300m wide sand spit between the Atlantic Ocean and the Senegal River, is one of the island’s most scenic spots and is famed for its boats and fishing activities. Most expats living in Saint-Louis find themselves heading to Guet N’Dar at least once during their stay in Senegal to experience the local culture in this traditional fishing community.

An amazing community is waiting for you!

InterNations also run discussion groups and forums, which again are designed to enable people moving to Saint-Louis or elsewhere to network and socialize with like-minded people and to settle into life abroad as quickly and happily as possible.
