When is it better to go

The climate of Senegal is rather mild: Heat and tropical showers bypass this country. Peak tourist influx occurs in November-March, when the thermometer shows +24.5 °C. It usually rains from June to September. At this time, the prices are becoming more acceptable, and excellent roads give travelers trouble-free to travel around the country.
