Understand

Get in

Toubakouta is on the main road between Kaolack and The Gambia. From Dakar, the best way to get there is to take a sept place to Ziguinchor and specify to the driver that you wish to get off at Toubakouta.

Get around

The area is well served by motor scooter taxis suitable for one or two people, usually for 500CFA. The town is small enough that the locals know every hotel and can take you there quickly.
