Is there a lot of crime in Senegal?

Answer this Question

We asked people if there is a lot of crime. They answered...

"Senegal is generally considered to be a safe country, with low levels of violent crime. However, petty crime such as pickpocketing and bag snatching is common in the larger cities, particularly in the capital city of Dakar. Tourists should take extra precautions to protect their belongings and be aware of their surroundings. Additionally, there have been reports of scams targeting tourists, so it is important to be vigilant," explained one expat living in Senegal.
