What is the definitive guide to Mercedes Jackson's travel experiences in Senegal and beyond?

Hi there!

When people ask for a “definitive guide” to my travel experiences in Senegal (and more of Africa), here’s where I’d point you based on what I’ve already shared:

• My Instagram posts and Reels about Senegal & Gambia group trip (April 8–15, 2025) with @blacktravelexperience – I break down what’s included (4-star hotels, tours, Goree Island, Lac Rose, Dakar city, Gambia day tour, ATV, etc.) and what’s not (visa, flights, insurance, vaccines).
• My TikTok about “Senegal is officially my second favorite country in Africa” – I go deeper into what to do in Dakar: House of Slaves, Door of No Return, African Renaissance Monument, nightlife spots like Trafic Dakar, restaurants like La Mer à Table and Grilltime Dakar, plus tips on cash, language barrier, and using Yango/Heetch.

If you want a “definitive guide” in one place, I can help you outline an itinerary-style summary (history, food, nightlife, logistics, and group trip info) that pulls all of this together.

What kind of guide are you looking for: a planning checklist, an itinerary, or more of a story-style recap?
