I'm Nigerian, visited Dakar a couple of years back and was completely impressed. Very different from Nigeria. Nigeria (Lagos/Abuja) is more contemporary in many ways, but things like the Central Business District with tree-lined plaza is something Lagos can only dream off. Same with the beach front establishments that would rival anywhere else globally (no exaggeration) in places like Almady, in the Terrou-bi/Radisson Blu area.

@zerihun2380 Год назад

I am from Ethiopia, all the way from east Africa, and visited Senegal some years back. African Renaissance monument and Goree slave museum are places to be visited. What impressed me the most was the hospitality of people, Teranga. And you can walk around Dakar day and night with no problem.

Oh and one more thing, in Islam photographs and videos of people is forbidden. Not allowed photos of family in the home, etc... Multiple reasons because its considered idolatry and because of wicked ppl that use photos/video images for performing witchcraft on others. Just a brief explanation that can go much deeper, hence they were uneasy.

Sly do you have apply for a visa if one is visiting a country just for a week? Is that the case when visiting most countries? I plan on visiting Rio next year. I had no issues visiting Ireland in 2019. They just allowed me to remain in the country for 90 days.

Funny, I’m going to Portugal in June, and I’ll go to the easiest African country I can add. Tunisia and Senegal are my top contenders, but Senegal requires a shot. Maybe, Morocco. People are telling me to go to all these places, they don’t realize you need to pay, and apply for a visa ahead of time. I wish more African countries made travel easier.

@slyslife Год назад

Yeah, people kept asking me why i skipped some countries, but they don't understand that you need visas for many African countries as an American. It depends on what you're looking for, but I enjoyed Morocco. Plus, it's closer to Portugal and no Visa needed for Americans.

Ghana also required 1 more shot, and at the time I was researching, all updated Covid shots, but also I have to get a visa. 2 other countries in West Africa required visas as well. The point, was making sure you know all the requirements for all the places you planned to visit, when you think you’re just bopping around. It would be great to have more regional visas. The shots, it just depends on varying conditions. I had a flow chart for my 1st planned trip I cancelled for 2020.
