Internet in Senegal: everything you need to know
Senegal has roughly 60% internet penetration and 4G mobile coverage exceeding 90% of the population (source: ITU DataHub, 2024). Orange Sénégal (leader), Free Sénégal (ex-Tigo) and Expresso (Sudatel) share the market. 5G is being rolled out in Dakar by Orange.
- ●Dense 4G coverage in Dakar (Plateau, Mermoz, Almadies, Yoff, Ouakam), Saint-Louis, Thiès, Touba, Mbour/Saly, Ziguinchor. Very good on the Petite Côte (Somone, Saly, Joal-Fadiouth), at Gorée Island (20 min ferry from Dakar, decent Orange/Free signal), Lake Retba (Pink Lake). Patchier in Casamance (Cap Skirring : decent in the village, weak in the bush), the Sine-Saloum delta (signal at main islands, weak in mangroves), Niokolo-Koba Park (signal at lodges, weak in the park) and along the Mauritanian border.
- ●Average mobile speed ~25–45 Mbps download in Dakar per Ookla (Q1 2025).
- ●No Western services blocked : Google, WhatsApp, Instagram, X, YouTube, Netflix work normally. WhatsApp is dominant for contacts (hotels, agencies, drivers).
- ●Great for Yango (dominant Dakar taxi, Uber not present in Senegal), Heetch, Google Maps, Wave (HUGELY used mobile money, accepts foreign passports unlike Orange Money/Free Money which require a Senegalese ID), and CBAO, Ecobank banking apps.
