Frequently asked questions

How much does a Dakar holiday package cost?
You’ll find cheap prices on Expedia for your Dakar escape. However, factors like your choice of hotel, the season and length of stay will determine how much your holiday to Dakar costs.
What are the cheapest months to go to Dakar?
If you’d like to snag a cheap Dakar holiday package, consider planning a trip in March, September and October. You’ll generally find better rates on hotels and flights during these quieter months — perfect for a budget-friendly getaway.
How many days is enough for Dakar?
Dakar holidays can be short or long, but to really get a feel for this destination, we’d say 4 days is about right. With this timeframe, you can visit top attractions like Museum of Black Civilizations and IFAN Historical Museum and seek out some lesser-known spots. Don’t miss out on cool areas such as Les Almadies and Ouakam either. If you’re smart with your time, you can even take a day trip outside of Dakar too.
How to find the best Dakar package deals?
Use Expedia’s handy filters to find some great Dakar package deals. When you begin your search, simply set your maximum budget and then order the results by “Price: low to high.” If you want to save, plan your trip for midweek, or search for Dakar package deals in the off-peak season. Switch up your travel dates and you may score even bigger discounts. As a rule of thumb, it’s typically best to lock in your holiday package as early as possible.
Is it cheaper to book a Dakar holiday as a package?
An Expedia holiday package could save you hundreds of dollars when compared to arranging accommodation and flights separately. Better still, you can customise your Dakar escape to fit your exact style. Choose your preferred flight time, select the hotel type and add a car rental. Browse our great deals to see how much you can save.
When to book a holiday package to Dakar?
If you’re planning a spontaneous Dakar adventure, browse our last-minute deals that can be booked up to a week before you take off. Don’t want to leave things to the last minute? You can find sensational deals on your flights and hotels by booking well in advance.
How to plan a trip to Dakar?

  1. Pick your travel dates: What you plan to do in Dakar and your preferred season can help you decide when to get away.
  2. Plan your budget wisely: On top of the cost of your stay, you should consider other expenses too. These include flights, food and transportation. Also, set aside some extra funds for unexpected costs that may come up during your trip to Dakar.
  3. Work out your trip length: Think about how long you’d like to spend exploring Dakar. Plan your days so you can get to all the activities and attractions you’re interested in without rushing.
  4. Bundle your flights and hotel: Awesome destination, check. Length of stay, check. Now all that’s left is to pick a Dakar holiday package that brings all your bookings together.
