Need help please Date: Fri, 30 May 2008 12:55:07 -0400 Pa-Pierre, I hate to say, it depends! I do not know any official tax, levy or tariff for transiting Dakar airport. However some agents at the airport are "Degerr Fit". I have witnessed a few incidences when travelers (disproportionately from the coast ) have been asked to pay up for having US Dollars, cellphones and other nifty gadgets. Often the choice is drop a few cents or get some time wasted between arrival and departure. Things may not be the same if you are disembarking in Yoff just to travel by land to The Gambia. In that case you may need some convincing that you are indeed getting to Amdalai and not Karang. Things that work: a charming smile;old-fashioned "gran sa waa"; playing like the local. A big no no: showing-off you are a Gambian "smarty-pant". Malanding Jaiteh ps. I traveled through Dakar numerous times over the last 3 years.Only once, I was asked to pay up. I was let go when the brother realized that I am no "Semester" with a bag of dollars. All other times the officials were VERY polite and professional.
