Visit Dakar like a local with your guide, Malou-P, a singer-writer during the night and a guide during the day. With his simple, sociable and teasing nature, Malou-P is a Senegalese proud of his culture, his country and his language. On the back of his vespa or in his car if you feel more comfortable, discover the life in the streets of working-class neighborhoods and interact with the people who live in Dakar. In complete safety with Malou, regular Touba coffee stops and laughter guaranteed! A friendly stroll to get to know Dakar's neighborhoods better and exchange about Senegalese culture, beliefs and the hard reality of the working market for the young people, whether you're just passing through or have lived here for several years!
