in Saint-Louis
A faded colonial island town on the Senegal River: UNESCO heritage, pirogue fishing boats, migratory bird sanctuaries, and West Africa's jazz capital.
Travel better in Saint-Louis with the right person
Split costs
A solo traveller in Saint-Louis spends about ~$30–90 USD a day. Accommodation, transport, guided tours and day trips all cost less split two ways.
Stay safer
A travel companion means someone knows your plans, can help navigate emergencies, and makes you less of a target in unfamiliar areas of Saint-Louis.
Go deeper
The best experiences in Saint-Louis (the off-menu restaurant, the dawn hike, the local's favourite spot) are found with a curious companion, not a guidebook.

Worth agreeing on before you meet
Respect Local Customs
Senegal is predominantly Muslim. Dress modestly when visiting mosques and religious areas. Remove shoes before entering homes and sacred spaces. Greetings are important. Take time to say hello properly.
Leave No Trace
Pack out all rubbish from beaches and natural areas. The Langue de Barbarie and Djoudj are fragile ecosystems: stay on paths, do not disturb nesting birds, and respect wildlife viewing distances.
Full detail (itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety) is in the Saint-Louis travel guide.
