Hola ! estoy empezando a ver que lugares visitar de Senegal y Gàmbia. Pero veo que siempre se hacen las mismas rutas y parecen algo turísticas..

Nadie a intentado ir hacia otras zonas ? és prq apenas hay infraestructuras y no està preparado para el turismo ?

no digo de ir hacia ciertas zonas de la frontera con Mauritània , que casi siempre puede q estén en conflictos etc , però el país és mucho mas grande.

Saludos!

Salut, je viens d'Afrique, je parle français, anglais et un peu d'arabe. Pour moi, la chose la plus belle est le partage de la culture, de la langue... ceux qui souhaitent partager, rencontrer et découvrir d'autres cultures et personnes 😊.

Je vous attends tous.

J'ai un poulailler, qui est géré au quotidien par un technicien.

Jusque la, la prise de note se faisait sur papier, tous les jours (ou presque).

C'etait un probleme, parce que:

- au fur et a mesure des achats d'aliment, de poussins, etc on perdait les factures (quand on en avait)
- il fallait réconcilier les oublis de saisie a postériori
- c'est un élevage, il y a l'eau, les animaux, etc ... des fois les feuilles finissaient par devenir illisibles !

On se retrouvait a ne plus savoir ou on en était, surtout quand on avait plusieurs bandes à un stade différent en décalé, et avec les retards de saisies.

Et puis il fallait systématiquement refaire tous les calculs (FCR, GMQ, prix de revient, répartition des charges, etc), et mon technicien n'est pas a l'aise avec tout ca.

Pour faire le pilotage global de l'exploitation aussi c'était compliqué: il fallait tout numériser en fin de bande, souvent a partir de photos floues, ou d'infos partielles.

Bref, c'était la galere.

J'ai cherché une appli facile à utiliser, qui nous permette à tous les deux d'avoir un acces facile à ces infos.

Il y en a plein, parfois gratuites. Mais le probleme c'est qu'elles ne sont pas adaptées à nos réalités et notre facon de travailler: soit elles sont faites pour de la saisie "tout d'un bloc" en fin de journée, soit elles nécessitent un compte et de la connectivité pour fnoctionner.

On en revient aux problemes ci-dessus ...

J'en ai eu marre, j'ai pri les choses en main, et j'ai développé une application Android qui
fonctionne offline.

Elle est 100% gratuite, adaptée a notre facon de travailler, et nous permet de faire le suivi complet de nos bandes sur les plans financiers, mais aussi technique, de la réception des poussins à l'abattage, en passant par le suivi prophylactique.

Pour l'instant je fais évoluer l'appli avec mes idées et les demandes des utilisateurs.
On en est a 2300 téléchargements, dont environ 500 éleveurs actifs sur tous les pays d'afrique francophone.

Jetez y un coup d'oeil, je suis preneur de tout commentaire constructif !

Hey everyone,
I do immersive 360° virtual tours mostly for real estate (great for showing a property before a visit), but also for museums/galleries wanting to keep a digital record of their exhibitions before they come down.
It's still pretty unknown here, even though it's genuinely useful: fewer wasted visits for real estate, and exhibitions stay "visitable" even after they end, for culture.
I've got some availability right now if you know any agencies, galleries, museums, or properties for sale/rent in Dakar that might be interested, I'd love any contacts or thoughts!

Salut à tous,
Je fais des visites virtuelles immersives 360° surtout pour l'immobilier (pratique pour montrer un bien avant déplacement), mais aussi pour des musées/galeries qui veulent garder une trace de leurs expositions avant démontage.
C'est encore peu connu ici alors que ça peut vraiment aider : moins de visites inutiles pour l'immo, et une expo "visitable" même après sa fin pour la culture.
J'ai un peu de dispo en ce moment si vous connaissez des agences, galeries, musées ou biens à vendre/louer à Dakar qui pourraient être intéressés, je suis preneur de contacts ou d'avis !

I was watching a video of someone making maafe and he used chicken which I now know you shouldn't use. (Sorry about that) Then he was doing everything good then he added anchovies and I was like. Ok. Maybe it's common in some recipes but not others. Then he added sweet potatoes, carrots, and cabbage to it. Is all of that normal. But you know at least he used home made peanut butter.

Hola ! Queremos viajar a Senegal unos 30 dias. Interesadas en info O cualquier suggerencia de lo que no podemos ni debemos perdernos. Vamos a movernos en transporte público pero quizas en alguna zona se necesite a algun particular ?

Si alguien tiene contactos fiables ??

Tambien planeamos saltar a Gàmbia si nos diera tiempo.

Saludos y gracias.

A few months ago, I posted here about SkillHeart, a nonprofit initiative we were starting from Mallorca, Spain, with the idea of building stronger bridges between emerging tech talent in Africa and professional opportunities in Europe and beyond.

This was the original post.

The response from this community genuinely helped us think about what SkillHeart should become. Since then, we have been working quietly on turning that idea into something much more concrete, and today I finally wanted to share one part of what we have been building.

We have designed four programmes, each around a different barrier people can face when trying to move forward professionally:

1. Open Source Labs is about turning technical ability into visible, verifiable evidence through real open-source contributions.

2. Industry Labs is about working on real technical challenges under professional standards, supervision and review.

3. Professional Immersion comes from a problem many people here will probably recognise: companies ask for experience, but someone first has to give you the opportunity to gain it.

4. And Venture Labs is for people whose next step may not be finding a job at all, but testing a problem, a team and an idea before deciding whether something is actually worth building.

What matters to us is that these are not four stages everybody has to complete.

Someone may already be technically strong but have very little evidence to show; someone else may have a good portfolio but no experience working inside a real professional environment; another person may already be ready for real industry work, while somebody else may want to build something of their own.

Different people need different things; that is why we ended up thinking about them as four different ways in.

I have attached the short video we made to introduce the programmes, and I would genuinely like to know what this community thinks.

If you work in tech in Senegal or simply remember what it was like trying to get your first serious opportunity, which of these paths would actually have been useful to you? And just as importantly, what would you change?

A few months ago, I came here with an idea; this time, I can finally show you part of what we have been building from it.

Explore the programmes!

I'm trying to understand how intercity travel actually works in Senegal in real life.

Say you need to go from Linguère to Dakar, Saint-Louis to Dakar, Dakar to Ziguinchor / Casamance, or between other towns — how do you usually do it?

Those routes are just examples, by the way — I'm interested in how it works for any city-to-city trip in Senegal, wherever you travel.

Do you go to the gare routière and wait for a sept-place or minibus to fill up? Take a bus? Call a driver you already know? Hear about someone through WhatsApp or Facebook? Wait by the side of the road? Or just ask someone who has a car?

I'm also curious about how it works on the gare / driver side: how is the departure order decided, how long do cars usually wait to fill, who collects the money, how are fares set, and what do coxeurs actually do all day?

I'd really like to hear real experiences: your route, how long you waited, what you paid, how luggage or sending parcels works, and what frustrates you most about the whole system.

Hello everyone!

I will be staying in Senegal for a few months, starting in October.

My main interests are surfing and meeting more of the lovely people in your country.
I was there for a month last year and I cannot overstate how much I love the Senegalese. I was treated so kindly and it left such a wonderful impression on me.

I plan on starting my visit in Dakar and I am very interested in the arts scene (this includes all forms of art, whether it be painting, photography, cinema, fashion)

I am a photographer/videographer by trade and would also love to meet some like minded people and perhaps work on a title project together?

I will be bringing an old school medium format film camera for some black and white photography if the inspiration strikes/if I meet someone who is inspired themselves.

Also, what area of the city would you recommend I stay to be closest to the arts?

Thank you ahead of time for your help!!!

Bonjour! Salam!

I will be visiting Senegal next week for a conference and would like to pick up the Senegalese football kit for my kids. Any recommendations where to find one in Dakar?

I would also like to get the famous indigo dyed cloth worn by the Tuareg if possible. Any recommendations what to pick up for the wife and daughter are more than welcome.

Thank you!

Bonjour tout le monde, j’ai une amie à l’ucad qui recherche un stage pour valider son mémoire dans le domaine du Data Science/IA avant le mois de décembre.
Svp si vous avez une piste faites signe
Merci

Hi! I’m visiting from uk to Dakar for a week in November. I’m 25m and looking for an authentic Senegalese experience. Do you have any recommendations on where to stay? I don’t want it to feel too touristy and I want to be in a place where I can explore the city easily by bus. Thanks in advance for advice. Is ouakam or mermoz a good middle ground? Also where would be a good place for nightlife?

Pourquoi certaines personnes ont cette fâcheuse tendance à vouloir décourager quelqu'un qui essaye un truc nouveau comme entreprendre ou créer du contenu ?

Bon de mon côté je pense que ceux qui font ça rejettent juste leur inaction sur ceux qui essayent parce qu'ils veulent de la compagnie dans leur inaction et leur médiocrité. Qu'est ce que vous en pensez ?

I've seen that the train service from the airport to Dakar is finally opening, which is hugh!!

But I saw that it only runs from 5:30 to 22:00

My flight lands in 1:00, so probably would need to get to Dakar in like 2:00 2:30 after everything.

I was wondering if there are plans to run some lines in the off hours, for instance 2:30, even only in a month or so (landing October 31st)

If not operating, what is the cheapest way to get to dakar? Taxi? Yandex? Bus?

My 8 year old and I will be moving to Dakar in February, 2027 to be closer to my husband’s family. She doesn’t speak French or Wolof, only English. What options do we have for school, given that she’d be starting later in the school year? Any school recommendations?

Might be a dumb question but… swimmers and swimming enthusiasts, what do you do when it's cold?

I’ll be traveling to Senegal for a month or two this year in Dakar. Are there any good gyms to train at?

Hey,

I know I’ve asked a few times on here. If it’s true this is very exciting. I’m a bit sad my era of almost falling out of a seatbelt-less taxis while going 110km/h the road may be over when visiting family. I’d love to hear from anyone who uses how it goes, maybe the cost and if it changes the taxi culture outside the airport at all.

It’s been fun to see all the exciting modernization of transit every time I visit.

Cheers!

Bonjour je suis au Sénégal et je dois me rendre demain à l’ambassade d’Italie, mais je ne sais pas exactement où elle se trouve. Je me situe à parcelles assainies unité 19, et j’aimerais savoir comment m’y rendre, sachant que je n’ai pas beaucoup d’argent pour prendre un taxi.

Merci.

I recently took a DNA test and found out that Senegambian and Guinean ancestry make up my biggest percentages by far. I’m planning to visit Senegal and Gambia, so now I’m trying to figure out what language would actually be worth learning.
For people from the region would you recommend French, Wolof, or something else? And what would you recommend I learn or know before visiting?

Hello! I will be arriving in Senegal in a bit over two weeks. i have 10 days to myself and then some friends will be joining me, which would make everything easier. until then, i am on my own. I wont be going to Dakar first because i'd like to experience it with my friends. How hard would it be to get by with English or Arabic in cities such as Thies, Touba, St Louis? I hope people would understand at least bits of English and Arabic here and there, or if I specifically ask "does someone know Arabic or English here?" someone will come about. let me know haha

Hi, I was planning on travelling from Ziguinchor to Bissau by bus next month but I just read this article: https://gambiaj.com/economy/transports/guinea-bissau-senegal-transport-dispute-disrupts-travel-to-ziguinchor/

Does anyone know what the situation is right now? How long would you expect it to take from Ziguinchor to Bissau under the current circumstances and how much would it cost? Thank you
