Visit Dakar like a local with your guide, Malou-P, a singer-writer during the night and a guide during the day. With his simple, sociable and teasing nature, Malou-P is a Senegalese proud of his culture, his country and his language. On the back of his vespa or in his car if you feel more comfortable, discover the life in the streets of working-class neighborhoods and interact with the people who live in Dakar. In complete safety with Malou, regular Touba coffee stops and laughter guaranteed! A friendly stroll to get to know Dakar's neighborhoods better and exchange about Senegalese culture, beliefs and the hard reality of the working market for the young people, whether you're just passing through or have lived here for several years!

About Dakar
Dakar, the capital of Senegal, sits on the Cap-Vert peninsula, the westernmost point of mainland Africa, a city of markets, music and ocean beaches.
Dakar occupies the tip of the Cap-Vert peninsula, jutting into the Atlantic at the westernmost point of mainland Africa. The city mixes colonial boulevards with busy markets such as Sandaga and fishing beaches where painted pirogues unload at Soumbédioune. The African Renaissance Monument, a huge bronze statue of a man, woman and child on a hilltop at Ouakam, overlooks the coast.
Top-ranked sights in Dakar: Gorée Island, Maison des Esclaves, Lake Retba (Lac Rose).
