Directions for your Transfer from Dakar Airport
The Blaise Diagne International Airport is about 60 kilometres east of Dakar’s city centre. By taxi, the trip to reach the city takes around an hour. First, you will take Route de service to the A1 highway. After around 30 minutes on the A1, you will continue onto the N1 which will take you the rest of the way to Dakar, where your driver will take the local streets to reach your accommodation.
Flat rate fee for your Dakar Airport Transfer
Many Dakar taxis don’t have a working taximeter. The fare is generally negotiated with the driver before starting the trip. Generally, you can expect the fare to be around €0.46 (CFA 300) per kilometre. The cost to reach Dakar from the airport may range from €18.35 (CFA 12,000) to €30.58 (CFA 20,000), whilst you will also have to pay any applicable toll fees. Keep in mind that the fare normally increases at night. Another option is to book your Dakar airport transportation in advance with Welcome Pickups for a competitive flat rate and no hidden fees for your peace of mind.
