Head of mission: Mr. Bjørn Rosenvinge-Thürmer, Honorary Consul General (as of 2010)
Senegal offers a rich cultural and natural experience, making it an appealing destination for some Danish travelers. With attractions like the lively markets of Dakar and the tranquil beaches of Cap Skirring, it caters to diverse interests. Given that 3.2 million Danes travel abroad annually, a portion may find Senegal an intriguing option.
Senegal is generally considered safe for tourists, but it is important to be aware of some differences in safety compared to Denmark. While Denmark ranks 6th in safety among European countries for walking alone at night, Senegal is ranked 82nd out of 160 countries on the Global Peace Index, indicating a lower level of safety. In terms of crime statistics, Denmark has a murder rate of 0.8 per 100,000 people, while Senegal has a lower murder rate of 0.3. However, specific data on female murders in Senegal is not available. According to the Global Organized Crime Index, Denmark scores better in various crime categories compared to Senegal. For instance, Denmark has lower indices for mafia groups (5.0 vs. 2.5) and state crime (2.0 vs. 4.5), while Senegal shows higher levels of foreign crime (6.0) and flora crime (7.5). Overall, while Senegal is relatively safe for tourists, visitors from Denmark should remain vigilant and informed about their surroundings.
