Where should you go in Senegal in october when it comes to the weather?
Remember:
The climate in Senegal in october ranges from good to tolerable depending on the region and city.
October is not the best month to travel to in Senegal. The weather in Casamance, Cap Skirring, Ziguinchor, Matam, Saint-Louis, M'bour and Saly Portudal is ok but correct. The sun is not there all the time and you might make you wet by rain regularly. However, if you don't plan a deckchair & cocktails by the pool trip but rather discovery of heritage or walking, this climate may be enough. In addition, there are certainly fewer tourists this month.
It's even worse in Dakar and surrounding area where the climate is very bad. We really do not recommend you to go to this area this month.
