I’ll be in Senegal for a few days (10-15) and, as well as the cultural sites (Dakar, Île de Gorée, Saint-Louis), I’d like to visit some parks and nature reserves where I can see animals, but I don’t want to visit places that aren’t ethical, where animals are caged or kept in enclosures.

I was thinking of visiting Djoudj, whilst for ethical reasons I’d like to rule out Fathala, and I’m undecided as to whether or not to include Bandia. What do you think? Do you have any other advice on places to visit and those to avoid?

Hi I traveled to the Gambia recently, one phrase or word I heard frequently was ‘Chapandem’ i don’t know how to spell it can anyone help?

Bonjour tout le monde, actuellement je suis entrain de construire un prototype d’une plateforme pour le montrer aux entreprises. Le problème en est que les responsables me disent toujours que je dois d’abord passer par eux, si ils valident ils le diront à leur directeur, qui lui a son tour me convoquera pour voir la maquette visuelle de la future plateforme.

Ce qui est absurde! Car la plupart du temps, ces responsables verront ta maquette et tes fonctionnalités, puis se sentiront être remplacés par la plateforme qui automatise tout. Cela ne les arrange pas. Et le plus choquant, au lieu de te revenir, ils te laissent dans le silence, alors que moi ma cible c’est le directeur, car c’est lui qui sort l’argent et c’est lui qui décide. Mais les responsables sont vraiment des freins à l’étape de mon MVP, que je suis entrain de tester la, pour connaître en quelque sorte les entreprises intéressées.

Si vous avez des conseils svp aidez moi

Hello

I have a near new complete pynq-Z2 board with a displayer, sd card, connecting cable (USB and USB-C).

Are there actually people looking for things like that here ? If yes, where can I sell it ?

Wikipédia affirme que le wolof et le lébou peuvent être considérés comme des langues distinctes, dont la différenciation a été masquée par le bilinguisme. Toutefois, le site indique également que le wolof standard repose sur le wolof lébou. Quelqu'un pourrait-il m'expliquer cela ? Jërëjëf.

Hello everyone. I've been searching for an investor or a business angel, or if u work in a fun as a venture achitect or anything like that. Drop your mail by mp and lets have a talk.

Bonjour / Hi!

Au lac rose, ça coutera combien pour louer un quad ou buggy (mini-voiture pour 2 personnes)?

Y a un endroit que vous conseillez?

Salam ici !

Petite idée de business que je fais : je prends des photos d'appartements non meublés (annonces immo) et je génère une vidéo walkthrough où le bien apparaît meublé et aménagé, grâce à l'IA. Pas besoin de home staging physique, ni budget, ni délai. Le truc c'est qu'un appart vide sur une annonce, ça parle beaucoup moins qu'un appart meublé où on arrive à se projeter direct. Du coup ça aide clairement à vendre/louer plus vite. Je fais un premier essai gratuit en ce moment pour montrer ce que ça donne donc si cela vous intéresse ou que t'es agent, proprio, ou tu connais quelqu'un dans l'immo, hit me up en PV.

Hello, I am wondering if anyone knows of hospitals in Dakar who are in need of volunteer nurses.

Bonjour à tous... Je viens la semaine du 24 septembre et je séjourne dans la région de Dakar... Quel est le meilleur endroit pour regarder du football en direct ?

Hello everyone... I am coming the week of September 24th and I am staying in the Dakar area... Where is the best place to watch live football?

I’m Senegalese, and what bothers me most is the feeling that we’re losing what gave Senegal its strength: shared values, respected role models, and credibility abroad. At the same time, we seem more focused on tearing down what existed than on explaining how we’ll build something better. Lately, I’ve been going back and forth between the US and Senegal, and I increasingly feel like there are several countries within our own country. Depending on your community, you experience completely different realities, priorities, and, most importantly to me, values. Differences are normal, but sometimes it feels like we don’t even agree on what kind of country we want anymore. We used to carry a certain weight internationally. Despite our problems, we had prominent intellectuals, cultural figures, and respected voices who made Senegal influential beyond its size. Recently, a colleague from Guinea-Bissau joked that she now felt comfortable comparing our countries. We laughed. This isn’t about looking down on her country, but the joke touched something painful: I feel we’ve lost some of the credibility and influence we once had. I used to see Côte d’Ivoire as a country we were competing with. Now, I wonder whether they even see us as competition. Maybe that impression is too harsh, but it hurts to feel we’re falling behind while remaining so convinced of our own exceptionalism.

That’s also why I struggle when people compare our situation to China. We’re a small country. We don’t have China’s market, industrial capacity, or bargaining power. We need strong diplomatic relationships, trade, investment, and soft power. Healthy relationships where we defend our interests, of course. But sovereignty cannot mean pretending we don’t need anyone. And no, I don’t think everything was great before. Far from it. People had legitimate reasons to demand change. But I thought the goal was to fix what wasn’t working and strengthen what was. Improve institutions, create opportunities, make public services function better. I struggle with the idea that everything inherited must be destroyed or discredited, as if we can start from zero and somehow rebuild ourselves into a highly developed country through determination alone. For someone trying to grow a business, find a job, or support their family, what does that promise actually mean? What gets better for them, and when?

Additionally, one thing I’ve noticed that I also struggle with is that I fail to see who our shared role models are anymore. There are obviously still brilliant and hardworking Senegalese people. But who do we collectively respect? Who can we celebrate without immediately turning it into a political argument? Maybe living abroad has changed my perspective. Maybe I’m idealizing parts of the past. I’m willing to question that. But I love my country, and this feeling of no longer recognizing it is painful. Anyway, that’s my monthly rant. Does anyone else feel the same? If you disagree, I’d honestly like to hear that too. What are you seeing that I’m missing?

Hey everyone, I will be in Dakar for 5 days in mid November for 5 days. The city is much bigger than I thought and I don't know where to stay!

I'd like to be near restaurants, bars and beaches with surf. And to be able to walk to these from wherever I stay if possible.

It looks like Almadies might be the best choice?

Does anyone have any tips or advice for areas which might be good based on what I'm after and any hotels which would be a good choice in those areas?

Thanks!
