Go directly from AIBD to Saly

For most visitors staying in Saly, a direct airport transfer is the simplest route. It avoids unnecessary travel into Dakar and keeps the trip focused on the Petite Côte.

A prebooked driver can meet you after baggage claim and take you directly to your hotel, villa or residence in Saly. Make sure the accommodation name or exact location is included in the booking details.

Typical driving time

The AIBD/DSS to Saly route is approximately 78 km in our current route catalog and is planned at about 75 minutes in normal conditions. Actual time varies with traffic, road conditions and the final address in Saly.

If your flight arrives late at night, confirm the pickup date carefully because the calendar date can change after midnight even when the flight number remains the same.

What to book for families and groups

Choose the vehicle using both passenger and luggage capacity. Four people with several large suitcases can need more space than four people traveling light. Families should request baby or booster seats in advance so the correct equipment is prepared before pickup.

Return transfer from Saly to AIBD

For the return journey, plan pickup around your airline check-in requirement rather than only the expected road time. International travelers generally need a wider safety margin than domestic travelers.

A round-trip booking keeps the outbound and return transport in one reservation and reduces the risk of arranging airport transport at the last minute during your stay.
