Fetch your bags stroll out of arrivals at Dakar Airport (DKR-Leopold Sedar Senghor Intl.), and pick up your rental car. Which one you drive off in depends on where you plan to go. If you’ll be spending a good deal of time driving in downtown Dakar, around 2 miles from the terminal, you’ll want something zippy and small. A compact car that’s fuel-efficient will be perfect for those busy city streets. But with almost endless things to see, like the scenic sandy shores of the region, there’s a good chance you’ll rack up those miles. A bigger vehicle, like an SUV or a full-size car, will make lengthier road trips more comfortable.
