A faire pendant votre passage à Dakar, en particulier la maison des Esclaves. Île très polluée par les déchets, que fait UNESCO et les autorités locales...?

„Community tax“ of 500 is now charged when buying the ticket for the ferry at the ferry terminal in Dakar.
House of the slaves is 1500 for non resident foreigners, but unfortunately many rooms are under renovation right now (2/2023).
Very peaceful island, wish we had stayed over night as many souvenir sellers leave the island in the evening and it gets really quiet…
