The world famous endurance rage that originally ran from Paris to Dakar, crossing 2 continents is one of the most gruelling motorsport races in the world.  The race first ran in 1978 where the original route was taken, however due to political and security conflicts, the rally was cancelled in 2008. It now runs in South America and retains its name, however whether the rally will ever return to Senegal and indeed Dakar is unknown. If you are in Dakar, why not hire a 4x4 for your own mini experience of the famous Dakar Rally.
 

Dakar Airport is the primary airport serving Senegal , formally known as the Leopald Sedar Senghor International Airport it handles around 1.5 million passengers annually. Hiring a car from Dakar Airport is a great way to get into the city as public transport is not the most reliable. Taxis services are well appointed however and offer excellent value for money, however if you do need regular transport around the city, hiring a car can be very economic.
