Opinion on Senegal is divided, though not dramatically: ratings run from level 1 to level 2. Nine of the eleven take the stricter view, and the remaining two see no cause for it. A one-level split of this kind usually reflects differing thresholds between governments rather than a dispute about the facts.
Currency varies between sources. New Zealand's is the oldest assessment of Senegal on file, last revised in December 2024, while the rest have been reviewed more recently.
The warnings for Senegal are not uniform across the country. 14 distinct areas are singled out by at least one government. Among them: Bakel City and Kidara City. At least one of these carries the highest possible rating, meaning a government advising against all travel there while rating the rest of the country lower.
Your own government's rating is the one your insurer and embassy will act on, so read that source first — the one level of daylight between the strictest and most relaxed assessments here is context, not a substitute for it.
