01 · Overview
The best time to visit Senegal is between November and April, when dry, cool days bring Dakar’s coast and Casamance’s mangroves to life. With 25°C to 30°C weather, it’s ideal for exploring Gorée Island, spotting birds in Djoudj, or dancing in Saint-Louis. For milder heat, try October or May.
