1 mission of Senegal in Mauritius: Consulate of Senegal in Port Louis, Mauritius. Addresses, phones and contacts.
Head of mission: Mr. Francois de Grivel, Honorary Consul (as of 2010)
Senegal is an appealing destination for Mauritian visitors, offering a rich blend of culture and natural beauty. With attractions like the lively markets of Dakar and the tranquil beaches of Cap Skirring, it caters to diverse interests. Given that around 100,000 Mauritians travel abroad annually, a portion of them may find Senegal an intriguing option for their travels.
Senegal is generally considered safe for tourists, but it does not match the safety levels of Mauritius. According to the Global Peace Index, Senegal ranks 82nd out of 160 countries, while Mauritius ranks significantly higher at 22nd. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in Senegal is notably low at 0.3 per 100,000 people, compared to Mauritius, which has a murder rate of 2.6. However, organized crime indices indicate some concerns; for example, Senegal scores higher in areas like flora and fauna crime, with scores of 7.5 and 7.0 respectively, compared to Mauritius's lower scores. While Senegal is relatively safe, tourists from Mauritius should remain aware of their surroundings and exercise standard precautions, as they would in any foreign country.
