🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Dakar Station → Tambacounda Station
💡 Book second class—it's air-conditioned and less crowded than first class. Bring snacks and water for the journey; the onboard buffet is overpriced. The station is 2 km from Auberge Islam—take a moto for 500 CFA.
Tambacounda Gare Routière → Auberge Islam, central Tambacounda
💡 Hop on any sept-place heading towards the market; tell the driver 'Auberge Islam' and they'll drop you at the main junction. Pay exact change or small notes—drivers rarely have change for 5,000 CFA.
Blaise Diagne International Airport (DSS) → Auberge Islam, Tambacounda
💡 Negotiate the fare beforehand; drivers often quote 35,000 CFA. Book a Piaggio Porter (shared taxi) from the airport to Tambacounda for half the price if you're on a budget.
Tambacounda Station → Auberge Islam
💡 Always agree the price before getting on. For Auberge Islam, 500 CFA is standard—if they ask for more, walk to the next driver. After dark, use a regular taxi (1,500 CFA) for safety.
