ORPA CONFERENCE 2010

Université Cheikh Anta Diop (UCAD),
Dakar, Sénégal

COMING TO UCAD

We recommend to choose an appartment in the following areas for which coming to UCAD may be simply done by foot.

Wherever you leave in Dakar, Busses and Taxis may be used to reach UCAD. However, for a confortable trip, we recommend taxis instead of busses. Taxi prices are about entre 20 F CFA ~0.03 Eur. to 100 F CFA ~0.15 Eur. each 200 meters, and prices are always negotiable !

The Bus Company is called Dakar Dem Dikk. The network with every line may be found at http://www.demdikk.com.
