Traveller notes

Airport pickup
Dakar activates at the gate on Orange, which is the network to have. Free is fine in the city. Check the plan before you buy.
Hotspot and calls
Allowed on most plans. Smaller hotels on Gorée and in Saint-Louis have weak Wi-Fi, so the eSIM covers more than the days out.
Where the network is weak
Dakar, Almadies and Saly are fine. The road to Saint-Louis is usable; the Sine-Saloum delta and the Casamance have long gaps.
Local SIM alternative
An Orange SIM needs a passport and is the better value for a stay over two weeks. For a week in Dakar the eSIM is enough.

Apple Pay and Google Pay work where your card does.

Which network does Airalo use in Senegal?

Airalo rides on Orange in Senegal. The destination score reflects how that network performed for previous travellers, which is why the same provider can score differently in a neighbouring country.

An Orange SIM needs a passport and is the better value for a stay over two weeks. For a week in Dakar the eSIM is enough.

Where is mobile coverage weak in Senegal?

Dakar, Almadies and Saly are fine. The road to Saint-Louis is usable; the Sine-Saloum delta and the Casamance have long gaps.

Can I use hotspot on an eSIM in Senegal?

Allowed on most plans. Smaller hotels on Gorée and in Saint-Louis have weak Wi-Fi, so the eSIM covers more than the days out.

Will my Indian or Pakistani card work to buy an eSIM?

Visa and Mastercard cards with international use enabled work with every provider we list. UPI, RuPay-only cards, JazzCash and Easypaisa do not. Expect a forex markup of roughly 2 to 4% from your bank.

How much data do I need for 7 days in Senegal?

For normal use, maps, WhatsApp, social media and a few video calls, budget about 0.7 GB per day, so around 4.9 GB for 7 days. Heavy users who stream or hotspot should double that.

When should I install the eSIM?

Install it on Wi-Fi before you fly and keep it switched off until you land. Dakar activates at the gate on Orange, which is the network to have. Free is fine in the city. Check the plan before you buy.
