senegal carnet
 

does anyone have up to date info on carnet requirements for senegal, is one necessary or can you get vehicles signed off in your passport, or be escorted through the country (group of three vehicles going)

Don't know ... but others have said that bikes must be no older that 5 years ... you may have a problem there?

As my bike is way older that 5 years I'm not going to senegal. Got enough to see elsewhere.

hi !!
Well , Its getting harder these days. Average bribes are now 100-200 Euros (as of 5th Jan in Diama) . Still possible thou

Convoys which leads you to Gambia runs at 250 euros .. plus all the hassle of carriying a Senegalese policemen in your car.

When bribing your way into Diama , you get a Passavant (ussually 7 days's worth) and NO vehicle details written on your passport.

Entering via east or south is much much easier . They don't ussueally enforce the law .. or if they do .they only ask for 5000-10000 CFAs . They dont't write details in the passport either.

of course , if you have a carnet , o a vehicle lesser than 5 year old ,then there's no problem at all.

good Luck

Thanks for the info

How does it work with the escort, do you just negotiate it at the border and take one of the guys along?
