What To Expect
Le Monument de la Renaissance Africaine
The monument, which sits atop a hill surrounded by trash heaps and unfinished homes, depicts a man, woman, and child who are ostensibly meant to be African yet look glaringly like chiseled Soviet caricatures. The statue would not be quite so alarming if it were not for its sheer size, topping out at over 160 feet of bronze nationalism or a little more than half the height of the Statue of Liberty. This makes it the tallest statue in Africa. But the visit inside the monument is extra charged
The Mosque of Divinity, built in 1997, is a mosque located in Ouakam, Senegal. It is a structure with two minarets. The mosque provides a view of the Atlantic Ocean, as the mosque lies near the shore, at the Corniche-Ouest.

5.00Interesting trip to Goree island coupled with a brief city tour. Our guide Malang was very helpful and informative. He did a great job with the logistics and setting us up with a local guide on Goree island. He has some insightful thoughts on what it is like / what is happening Senegal today.
Overpriced for what is...

3.00Overpriced for what is it. Although the guide was interesting, this could very easily be planned independently
Brilliant service + experience

5.00My partner and I had a very enjoyable and exciting experience. Our hosts, Lamine and Momodou were awesome - top marks for their service. We would definitely highly recommend them to anyone wishing to tour Dakar, visit Goreé. It is good value for money.

4.00The history of Goree Island is really impressive, but it is very interesting. It's worth a visit. The visit I made to Dakar was a panoramic tour with a stop at the African Renaissance Monument, a giant statue!
Ruined dream trip.

2.00I can't recommend this tour company. They booked this tour even though the date was a bank holiday and nothing would be opened- no museums, no monuments. The easiest thing would be to rebook for another day but the guides showed up and didn't tell me the situation of it being a bank holiday until we had left my hotel- too late to reschedule. The guide acknowledged he should had said something before we left but opted not to. This company also left me stranded for another tour without notice. They never explained what happened. I wasted time and money. This was a special dream trip that was ruined.
A tour not to miss!

5.00Our guide Malang provided us with an excellent day. Regulations on our ship caused us a little delay, so we missed the first ferry to Goree Island. No worry, as Malang had us get our tickets stamped for the next ferry and showed us some Dakar sites instead of just waiting at the pier. Everywhere we went, people knew Malang. Highly recommend this tour!
A very full and informative day!

5.00Hats off to the leaders of Senegal Global Tours. On my way back to Sweden, I must confess that my first visit to Africa was a real delight thanks to the professionalism and dedication of the trip organizers. I really appreciated how they managed the visit from beginging to end keeping all their promises in terms of quality of service, provision of appropriate information, responses to my queries and anticipation of my needs. I will see to it to spread the word around me because many trip organizers usually present to potential visitors attractive services but often fail to fuifil their promises. Goree Island and the Monument of African Renaissance offered me the opportunity to open pages of the continent's sad history and to hold out a hope for a rising Africa despite the challenges that the countries are facing. Thank you Senegal Global Tours making this trip memorable.
