1 mission of Senegal in Romania: Consulate of Senegal in Bucharest, Romania. Addresses, phones and contacts.
Head of mission: Mr Eduard Mansour, Honorary Consul (as of 2024)
Senegal offers a rich cultural and natural experience, making it a noteworthy destination for Romanian travelers. With attractions ranging from Dakar's lively markets to the tranquil beaches of Cap Skirring, it appeals to those seeking diverse experiences. Given that 11.6 million Romanians travel abroad annually, some may find Senegal an appealing choice.
Senegal is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Romania, but there are some differences in safety rankings and crime statistics to be aware of. According to the Global Peace Index, Senegal ranks 82nd out of 160 countries, while Romania is ranked 36th, indicating that Romania is safer overall. In terms of murder rates, Romania has a rate of 1.3 per 100,000 people, while Senegal's rate is lower at 0.3. However, specific data on female murders in Senegal is not available. Regarding organized crime, Romania has a mixed record with indices ranging from 4.0 to 6.5, while Senegal's indices vary from 2.5 to 7.5. Notably, Senegal has lower scores for mafia groups and heroin trade, but higher scores for flora and fauna crimes compared to Romania. In summary, while Senegal is relatively safe, tourists should remain vigilant, as it does not match Romania's safety levels.
