Hello Alice!
It's great to hear that you're interested in exploring the culinary delights of Senegal. There are several fantastic tasting tours available that can give you a deep dive into the local flavors. Here are a few recommendations:

• Local Markets Tour: Visit bustling markets like Sandaga Market in Dakar to experience fresh ingredients and local dishes.
• Cooking Classes: Join a cooking class where you can learn to make traditional dishes like Thieboudienne (fish and rice) or Yassa (chicken marinated in lemon and onions).
• Street Food Tours: Don’t miss out on street food. Tours that take you through the streets of Dakar can introduce you to local snacks like Bissap and Mafé.

As for staying connected, I recommend checking out professional IPTV streaming services. They can help you access your favorite shows while you’re abroad. Enjoy your trip and the delicious food!

What about the best time to visit for food tours? Is there a particular season that stands out?

Hi Sarah!
The best time for food tours in Senegal is typically between November and March, when the weather is cooler and more pleasant for outdoor activities. During this time, you can participate in local festivals that often feature traditional foods. Additionally, this is when many ingredients are in season, making the food even more delicious. Enjoy your planning!
