As a Senegalese person I ought to say a massive thank you for this documentary. You really capture the spirit of my country, its people and our culture. I am so grateful!!

As a Senegalese I have enjoyed every single part of this video You did an amazing job and I love the fact that you spoke about the pro and cons 💜

Thank you so much for this video. Hoping that more and more people will watch this cuz as a Senegalese im tired of educating people that think Africa has barely nothing like no history no food nothing. You just proved them wrong in 24 minutes that's why i can't thank you enough. Hope you visit more countries in Africa and in the world so that we can learn more love you! :)))

I am a Senegalese living in the United States. I miss my country so much, I love your content !!! Keep up the good work. Thank you for showing the world that side of Africa they deserve to see as well.

Dakar is probably one of the most modern and beautiful cities I've seen in Africa. I've seen many youtubers travel to Nairobi, Kigali, Johannesburg, Addis Abeba, Dar Essalam, Accra, Lagos etc and they all look kinda dirty and chaotic. Dakar in fact reminds me of the city of Salvador in Brazil that i've visited. But Dakar feels safer whereas in Salvador you have to be on your toes.

As a senegalese, thank you for showing our beautiful country.

The sand art is absolutely amazing!! 😍😍😍😍😍

I love seeing the random cats 🐈 ❤

Dakar is beautiful i love my town❤🇸🇳

I spent 12 days in Dakar and Banjul last month. We were in many of the same places and many of your experiences mirrored mine in Goree Island, except for my being a Black American gave it a different dimension. We ate at the same restaurant also.

thank you so much for the history that you’re showing and your video. It’s very important that people don’t get caught up in what they see on TV or hear in some of these countries. But , to study and go out to visit and learn for yourself about the history, the people in many of these countries. This is a great video and I thank you so much for your time and effort that you put into it. It’s very informative.

Senegal was such a special holiday for me, thank for bringing back all the memories 💚 P.S. had the exact same experience at Goree being pursued by all the local sellers, even in the ferry 😂 wonderful people nonetheless!

Ella, I believe you are a good person, very open minded. Greetings from Japan 🇸🇳🇯🇵

Thank you much for the great cinematography and commentary on Senegal. My great great(5 gen) was one of the 20 million taken from Senegal. Her name was Aisha and she was from upper Casamance. I always appreciate being able to see how it looks, because I plan on going there within the next year or two.

Your vidéo is very nice. I ‘am senegalese since marocco. I’am very happy thing you very much welcom to senegal 👍

What a brilliant documentary. This should be on the BBC! (

One of the best vlogs I have ever watched! Loved it.

Amazing! Very well edited - quality is as always so good! And the video is packed with so much useful information! You did a great job and it could be that I this is my new favourite video on your channel! 😄 I do pay also more to help the local businesses - I don’t need to haggle for 2€ - it means a lot to them but is just a small amount for me. Such a sad history about the island, can’t imagine how it was back then. Horrible. I can’t wait to see the next episode!

Beautiful documentary, thanks for the masterpiece

So enjoyed the documentary...brings back good memories from our visit!

i got chills while she was on the island

Such an amazing video, thank you for sharing, I shall be going next year.

Planning a trip for later this year and I think you have convinced me to visit Dakar. Very well done video.

Amazing video. Am visiting Dakar next week solo travelling and I am beyond excited.

Wonderful video, Welcome to Senegal Ella, have a nice visit 🤗🤗🤗

Thanks for doing this nice video for my county Senegal....🇸🇳♥️🌷

So Beautiful, learning about other cultures.. love this! ❤️ Very sad about the past enslavement though.. 😞 Learning is so very important.

I have lived and worked in Dakar for the last three years. I spend a month at home, then a month in Dakar. I visited Goree in early 2021 when, due to covid, there were zero tourists. Yeah, I can remember the street sellers and with being the only two tourists there, you can imagine we attracted a bit of attention. It all adds to the adventure though 😀 Senegalese are great and many of them have tough lives, living on very little, but they still maintain a great attitude to life. Coming from Scotland, I do like the 9 months of zero rain as well 🌞

Thanks for the video. Did a Ancestry test and I found out I have roots in Senegal 🇸🇳

Watching now!😊🙋‍♀️

I love your style. It is like an anthony bourdain show. Lots of detail and enjoyment

Flying to Senegal's DAKAR next week from india for some business work. Really excited for the visit, thanks for the great VLog on the City. Its really helped me to have excitement to fly for DAKAR.

Well done, sister. Thank you

Love Dakar Everyone Happy There

+1 subscriber Proud 😗🇸🇳 Thanks u for share 🙏🏿

What an amazing vlog well done

Thanks!

My comment is kind of late 'cause i just run into this video. I M GLAD you went and visit Senegal 🇸🇳 defying the odds and Showing the People that was telling u NOT to go, the Reality of Senegal. As USUAL EUROPEANS (may be some) will ALWAYS see Africa as a DANGEROUS place knowing that the Dangerous people are the EUROPEANS. All the mess THEY created in Africa still discouraging people Not to go visit. I M just Glad you did and Dicover the Truth about Senegal. African people are VERY WELCOMING, Very POLITE , CONSIDERATE and FRIENDLY etc... Thank you for visiting Senegal and keep on going discovering more countries in Africa. You won't regret it. Best of luck.

Wonderful Vlog!👌😍 Loved It!❤ Stay successful!🤲💯 Aamin Summa Aamin!

Watching now!

Going to Dakar in 3 weeks!! ❤

this country is very nice and ur so beautiful imma in love 😭❤️

Wow this place looks great

It's a very beautiful city. I am visiting this place for third time. Food is great. Sea beaches are heaven on earth. Lacrose is very beautiful. We did Scuba Diving and surfing also in Ngor. All in all wonderful experience.

Great video. Thank you. Only issue is the speed, I couldn’t understand the guy who was showing you the cells. I know it’s supposed to be a modern technique to cut spaces and silences but reflecting between conversations is also important.

I have been to bunce island in Sierra Leone and related very much to your experience. So powerful, and interesting of an experience but a story and history nonetheless we must keep alive Love your work

I've been watching footage of West Africa to see if the fauna is similar to that of the Eastern/South Eastern coast of the United States based on the maps of Pangaea and I must say there are definitely some similarities and the produce in the market all thrives here as well. Interesting stuff.

Wonderful video. I would love to go there!

Wonderfull dakar is beautiful ✌

I'm here and so far local is friendly and not dangerous for amigo. Women is amazing

I love your videos. Looking forward to Ep2. The words "street food" always fills me with dread on travel documentaries, but the donuts looked lovely 😍

Thank you for this vid

till today i am still here in Dakar ... and i am personally impressed with the people here. they're friendly with us as a foreigner... (Thanks for the Video you're created)

Awesome video!

Thank you for sharing this awesome video! I’m planning on traveling there solo from America and it would be my first time. My boyfriend lives there 😊 would you say it is a safe country for solo travelers?

Going to Senegal next july. Cant wait. At what time where you in Dakar? How is the weather?

I'm traveling to sinigul and I saw your video and I wanted to get in touch with your tour guide

Baay Dam mooma ray✌️sénégalais vrai guerrier la. Jajeuf gars yi anglais bi léer na nagneuh❤️❤️❤️

Aku melihat vlog mu sampai habis. Aku orang indonesia. Senang sekali bisa mengenal senegal di vlogmu 😊

Hello, thank you for the video! I will be in Dakar in January, do you mind sharing your tour guide information?

grear video!

Senegal is so interesting. Have a Senegalese friend who is super nice and funny. Wanna go there to surf with the turtles and watch Dakkar rallye.

Senegal cool ❤️❤️❤️💘💘💘🇸🇳🇸🇳🇸🇳🇸🇳

♥️♥️♥️

I wanna go there now 😀

Amazing I like painting & art of Senegal people Slavery jail is dangerous I like your breakfast pizza & your mask 😷 Have a good journey 👍

Yes, I would have blessed her with more anyway

Wow, the baked goods look so amazing! In the U.S., the bread and pastries are not very good. Local markets are always adventures all on their own. The sights and sounds and don't forget the smells. I think you got a great deal on the local goods. I try not to haggle at very poor countries when the money is going directly to the local person who really needs the money. When April and I were in Guatemala, I did not really haggle unless someone was trying to take advantage of us. Then we usually bought the goods from a different vendor anyway. That is so sad about the 20,000,000 slaves. People are so cruel. The sand art is very cool. April would love to try the donuts. Your guide was so knowledgeable. It is so sad that there is so much trash on the beach that will wash into the ocean. How was the wrap?

Vous avez vraiment de la chance de pouvoir voyager partout en Afrique sans problème ni visa.c pas donne aux africains

What are advantages and drawback to be surrounded by a guide? Amazing point of view u offered ^^

seems to be much more clean and quite than rome

ಸೆನೆಗಲ್ ದೇಶ ಆಫ್ರಿಕಾ ಖಂಡದಲ್ಲಿದೆ. ನಿಮ್ಮ ಪ್ರವಾಸ ಕೌತುಕಮಯ.

Next visit let me know please

🇸🇳💪

Amazing Travel Video! How chocked one can be to learn about the slave trade in the region you visited! One could never have imagined those non-humane living areas on the island! How small the living areas were, so stuffed with slaves, how bad the Africans were treated by the Europeans. Just you walking in there almost made me freeze! As a comment regarding people in Europe you know: They asked "Why?" that to me would indicate that they thought this was a dangerous place to visit with dangerous *African* people! It was in truth the *Europeans* that were dangerous - at least at one point in time! Great video cut together in a professional way with great use of voice-over and fast-cutting - adding to the experience! The Island was very interesting visually. The island had an interesting look which made me think of Alcatraz, the infamous American prison island. This was a video that had all sorts of locals moving along and talking about many things as you walked along at a high pace: I can imagine that you had a *rough* day there in Dakar and further on to the island! I have never seen such interesting street art before (In Dakar) and it was very much worth the effort to watch this video to see the locals making really great art using some sort of sand from the region! Using sand in different colors to get interesting results... Amazing Travel Video!
