Dakar does not ask you to understand it all at once. It gives you fragments: music through an open door, the smell of grilled fish, a conversation that lasts longer than expected and a road that ends at the ocean.
Start with the light
Late afternoon is generous. Walk before making plans. Watch where the city gathers, and leave enough room in your evening for a recommendation from someone who lives nearby.
Good to know
Dakar changes from one neighbourhood to the next. Tell OFFSCRIPT where you are, who you are travelling with and the kind of evening you want. We will help you choose one place that fits.
