That depends on where you’d like to go. Downtown Pikine, about 22 miles from Dakar Airport (DSS-Blaise Diagne Intl.), can be difficult to drive in. Make things easier by opting for something compact, fuel-efficient, and simple to handle. That being said, Pikine is a good base to explore many of the sandy shores around Dakar Region. If your escape is more about hitting the wide open road, then you may like something with a bit more trunk space and room to move around. How about a full-size car or a standard SUV?
