Get Tips and Info on Life in Senegal from South African Expats

Being an expat in Senegal means much more than packing your belongings and taking care of paperwork. Keeping in touch with your South African compatriots is a big part of the expat experience and can help you understand the Senegalese people and their culture better. With InterNations, meeting other South Africans in Senegal is a breeze, no matter if you are in Tambacounda, Dakar, Saint-Louis or any other expat magnet across the country. Just take our network of South Africans in Dakar, for example.

If you are in the mood to speak your mother tongue again, to learn about the best spots to shop for South African food, or to discuss your favorite sports team’s latest match, join the South African InterNations Community:

• In our huge expat network, you can easily find like-minded expatriates from South Africa.
• Our Senegal Expat Forums are a great place to share experiences and advice – for example how to find a nanny speaking your language or where to get bobotie in Dakar...
• The InterNations Places database for Senegal helps you find institutions like the nearest South African embassy.

From the Mouride conurbation (the spiritual centre of Senegal's Sufi brotherhood) to the Cap-Vert peninsula, we’ll get you in touch with helpful and friendly South African expats in Senegal.
