Travel Summary

  • The Casamance region of south-western Senegal remains affected by incidents involving presumed separatist groups and by incidents of banditry. We advise against road travel in the Casamance region to the west of Kolda, other than on the main road from Ziguinchor to Cap Skirring which is often used by groups of tourists and on the main road north of the Guinea-Bissau/ Senegal border, from Sao Domingos to Ziguinchor - (N4 bis (Route National 4 bis).

  • If you travel on these routes, we advise that you do so only during daylight hours and that you monitor the local security situation before travelling. You should also note that the N4 and N5 roads in the Casamance region are closed each night from 18:00 to 06:00.

  • Most visits to Senegal are trouble-free. See General - Consular Assistance.

  • There is a general threat from terrorism. Attacks, including kidnappings cannot be ruled out and could be indiscriminate, including in places frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers.

  • You should take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance before travelling. See General - Insurance.
