Prepare your trip
What should I pack for Senegal?
A list to adapt to month, region and activities, then check off yourself.
Start with essentials, then your journey
Pack the documents appropriate to your entry, payment methods, arrival contact and everyday essentials. Then add items suited to your month and activities. Our list is editorial: it confirms neither visa nor health requirements. Boxes are checked only when you choose.
Adapt to month and destination
For rainy periods or seasonal transitions, plan to protect belongings and adjust outings. On the coast, consider sun, wind and suitable footwear. In the city or at a professional meeting, check expected clothing. A nature outing also means knowing the guide’s conditions and preparing the equipment actually requested without overpacking.
Keep essentials accessible
Keep protected offline copies of documents, useful confirmations and important numbers. Carry essentials in your hand luggage while following airline rules. The “Before you fly” checklist complements packing with passport, entry, health, insurance and arrival checks.
