🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Boma Lifestyle Hotel (anywhere in Almadies) → Anywhere in greater Dakar (e.g., Airport, Plateau, Yoff)
💡 Download Yango before arrival. A ride from Boma to the airport costs around 10,000–12,000 CFA—less than a regular taxi. For short hops (to a restaurant or beach), it’s often 2,000–3,000 CFA. Works fine with mobile data.
Almadies → Ouakam or Ngor (nearby beaches/restaurants)
💡 Buses run along the Corniche. Look for stop 'Almadies' near Boma. Service is irregular—better for getting to nearby spots like Ngor village or the Mamelles lighthouse. Not great for long journeys.
Blaise Diagne Airport (DSS) → Boma Lifestyle Hotel, Almadies
💡 Pre-book a yellow taxi (Airport Taxis) or use Yango app. The fixed price from DSS to Almadies is 15,000–20,000 CFA; avoid drivers who quote higher. For a smoother deal, go through the official airport taxi desk.
Almadies → Downtown Dakar (Plateau)
💡 These are shared Peugeots. Wait on the main road near Boma—they pass heading towards the city. Flag one down and say 'Plateau' or 'Centre'. Carry small CFA notes; fares are per seat.

Top Attractions in Almadies
💡 Arrive by 07:00 to see the boats land; by 09:00 most action is over. Wear shoes you don't mind getting wet and fishy.
💡 Go weekday mornings before noon; you'll have it almost to yourself. Afternoons draw crowds and litter.
💡 Walk north 200 m from the main access path to avoid the persistent beach vendors and cigarette smoke.
💡 Bring exact change—the attendant rarely has change for a 5000 CFA note. Late afternoon light is best for photos.
💡 Buy fruit from the women at the gate to feed the monkeys—they're habituated and will take it from your hand. No food inside.
