Senegal offers a rich blend of culture and natural beauty, making it an appealing destination for Belgian travelers. With attractions ranging from the lively markets of Dakar to the tranquil beaches of Cap Skirring, it caters to various interests. Given that 8.6 million Belgians travel abroad annually, a portion may find Senegal an intriguing option for their travels.
Senegal is generally considered safe for tourists, but it is important to be aware of the differences in safety compared to Belgium. Belgium ranks 16th in the Global Peace Index, while Senegal is ranked 82nd out of 160 countries. Although Senegal has a lower murder rate (0.3 per 100,000 people) compared to Belgium (1.1), the overall safety perception and crime statistics suggest that Belgium is safer for walking alone at night. In terms of organized crime, Belgium has lower indices than Senegal in several categories, indicating a higher level of organized crime activity in Senegal. For example, crime networks in Belgium score 4.5, while Senegal scores 5.5. While Senegal can be a safe destination for tourists, it is advisable for visitors from Belgium to exercise caution and stay informed about local conditions.
