Gorée Island
Twenty minutes by ferry from Dakar harbour, Gorée Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, keeps its car-free lanes, its houses with balconies and the House of Slaves, a memorial to the Atlantic slave trade.
Set on the Cap-Vert peninsula, at the westernmost tip of the continent, Dakar is at once a business capital, home to many regional institutions, and a city of sea, surf and culture. Gorée Island, the Pink Lake and the beaches of the Petite-Côte are within easy reach. Chartering a private jet to Dakar means reaching the Senegalese capital in about 5 h 30 from Paris, nonstop, with a VIP welcome on arrival. A member of the Air Charter Association and the EBAA, MK Partnair charters your flight with certified operators.

Which aircraft to fly to Dakar?
The Pink Lake
An hour north-east of Dakar, Lake Retba owes its pink colour to a micro-alga and its high salinity. The colours are most vivid in the dry season, around midday.
The Saloum and the Petite-Côte
Two hours to the south, the Saloum Delta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is explored by pirogue between mangroves and islets. On the way, the Petite-Côte lines up beaches and lagoons, from La Somone to Saly. In the city, the Terrou-Bi on the Corniche Ouest, the Radisson Blu Sea Plaza and the Pullman Teranga in the Plateau are safe choices; at the table, try thieboudienne, listed as UNESCO intangible heritage.

Which airport for a private jet to Dakar?
Blaise Diagne International Airport (DSS), in Diass, about 45 km from central Dakar, open 24/7. Allow 45 minutes to an hour on the toll motorway; the TER train has also linked the airport to the city since September 2026. The Petite-Côte and Saly are only 30 to 40 minutes away.
How long is a private flight from Paris to Dakar?
About 5 h 30 nonstop in a Super Midsize Jet or a long-range jet. A one-way flight is available from around €64,500, depending on the date and the aircraft.
What formalities apply to a private flight to Senegal?
French and British travellers do not need a visa for stays of less than three months. Yellow fever vaccination is recommended, and required if you arrive from a country at risk. The flight needs a landing permit and a parking slot, to be requested a few working days in advance: we take care of it.
When is the best time to visit Dakar?
From November to May, during the dry season, when the trade winds cool the peninsula. The rainy season runs from July to October.
Can I charter an aircraft based in Africa?
Yes. For flights between African cities, some operators have aircraft based on the continent, which avoids a long positioning flight from Europe and lowers the price. We consult them first, alongside European operators.
