I Spent 4 Days in Dakar, Senegal- What's It Like?
I spent four days in Dakar, Senegal in February 2024 and this video is an overview of the city. I discuss the neighborhoods, walkability, transit, crime, new projects, and more, plus a few tips for visitors. I cover Dakar the same way that I cover North American cities and want to provide a thorough city profile on this great west African city.

is this guy an AI?
Great video. I enjoyed that. Thank you.
When I was growing up, Californian’s were cool people that knew how to party and have a good time or successful wealthy people. Snootiness was not only proper, but encouraged unless you were one of those pot smoking losers that lived near the coast in a run-down apartment that would go for $3000 a month today.
Twice when I was ubering with my Chevy Cruze I picked up seven people. Five in the back seat and two on the front passenger seat. And me.
I've liked looking at maps that show the 100 and 500 year flood plain and note that folks have built houses right on the river's edge.
Live in the UP of Michigan during the summer, and So Florida in the winter and, it's said when a person in Duluth, MN sneezes we in the UP get 4 ft of snow
North dakota just lacks trees without the need for a dry desert 😂
The west is dying while Asia is growing.
Interesting and fun as always, thanks.
Did I miss the sections on the MS AL & FL panhandles?
A white guy is walking around in Gambia and not one person in the video even looks at him?!🤣🤣 I cant trust this video😆!!
Even Dekar has better transit than 90% of American cities. Honestly it’s fantastic to see for them; pretty sad to see for us.
Looks good city 🇰🇪
Maine is the most friendly part of the North East. Imo
Great video, Kyle! 👍
They hate us cause they ain't us. High Five!
Lick skillet Colorado Red Dog and You Bet California near rough and ready.
interesting that there appears to be more samples for areas of heavy rainfall
Based on population alone, it is incredible how many prominent musicians came from Oklahoma. One major rock band that was left off the list is Kings of Leon!
That snowfall map was horribly designed...
"Expats" are just immigrants who thought-up a new word so as to not be associated with immigrants. Call them what they are: immigrants. And do you ever notice that "Expats" never expect they'll have to assimilate?
My favorite scenic drive that I've ever done was the Great River Road in Wisconsin. You've got the rocky bluffs peeking out of dense woods on one side and the gorgeous Mississippi River on the other, and if you go on a clear fall day, it's kinda sensory overload.
Awesome underrated place! I have yet to visit anywhere in Africa and I’ve been curious about some places that are a bit out of the way. Looks like you had a good time and I’ll definitely be adding Senegal to my travel itinerary.
I agree with I-81 as a local to I-81 and I-26 these are both very dangerous and risker especially on i-81 has way to many semis to be 4 lanes
Thanks very much! Nice overview!
So Senegal can do high speed rail but California can't, how?...
I really appreciate your honesty and not sugarcoating for the sake of being nice and politically correct
1:27 the new capital is actually pronounced Jamiajo.
Thanks very much for a very objective description of a West African city. Though I have never been to Dakar, I hope to visit very soon.
Kyle, you da' man. Thanks for the great content.
HUMONGOUS SIZE CONTINENT. Kagame realized that you can't have 4 year looters coming into office in the name of Democracy. He's adopted a lifetime chairmanship just like China's Xi Jinping has...and the development outcomes are visible.

What advice would you give to new drivers on these routes? What we should do and not? Precautions for safe driving. Thnku
Grand Island in Lake Superior
Sugarhouse got a mention!! I love that neighborhood and always have. I always say SLC would be my perfect place to live, were it not my hometown.
Always interesting topics. Thank you.
Hill County, TX and Hillsboro, TX are kind of interesting. What you say about the relative lack of development along the I-35 corridor there is correct. Growing up, I knew Hillsboro for the outlet malls there; they are gone now. At the time, the major outlet malls along the I-35 corridor were in Hillsboro and San Marcos. San Marcos kept their outlet malls, and they continue to be a major shopping destination; San Marcos is also a larger city and a college town with a large university (Texas State University), not to mention its location between San Antonio and Austin. The San Marcos outlets also get a lot of shoppers from Mexico, to my understanding. Losing those outlet malls was a massive loss for Hillsboro. I suspect the presence of outlet malls in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex proper (such as the Grand Prairie Premium Outlets) contributed to the downfall of the outlets in Hillsboro.
Kyle, you left my part of Texas out....now I'm confused! 😊. Excellent video! ❤
From an urbanism perspective, I think Dakar is one of, if not the best, in subsaharan Africa. It's pretty underrated and I'd love to visit
Excellent description of my birth hometown
Young people today want to live in denser urban areas that a walkable, much less auto-and-truck dependent communities. Racism is much LESS than it was years ago, it's just media and social media doesn't want it to lessen, then they'll have nothing to divide people on! Overall, gentrification is a very good thing!

1: 57. By the looks of it, they can change it over to a rocket and take a trip to Mars. Thanks for showing all these interesting abnormal things.
Your so called information is very, inaccurate, inadequate and prejudiced. Worthless bullshit. Stay away you are not welcome.
Finally the colonisers is advertising the African city very remarkable not bullen🥸
I tried having a drink everytime you said "California". I got 5 minutes in and passed out
You've done a great job with this video. in the USA, we're really ignorant about Africa and the diversity and what the cities are like and such. There are middle class areas of African cities and developed areas, not just markets and villages and animals and such. Glad to get a glimpse at Dakar. I'm a fan of the music their, particularly mbalax and Youssef Ndor, Titi, Vivienne, Cuomba Gawlo, Wallie Seck, and so many more.
don't go to 3:04 D:
Fresno will certainly benefit from HSR - if the fares are not too high
Very cool video. Thank you. I didn't know about most of these places. I'd love to see you do a series.
