    What is not to like about Kakatar? The location is close to the ocean and located in the easy going middle of the real Dakar. If you into surfing, you hit the jackopt. A short drive away from the city center, which is a cheap ride when you use the...

    The welcome from Abdul and his team was world class and we genuinely felt sad to leave. We were welcomed in the middle of the night, fed well each day, helped many times, nothing was too much trouble. It made our time in Senegal very special.

Host review score
Just a few hundred meters from the ocean, in the most peaceful district of Dakar, but only 10 minutes from the Yoff airport and close to many shops, craftsmen, nightclubs and restaurants, you’ll find the six furnished studio flats and four furnished flats making up Kakatar family hotel and residence Kakatar has retained its authentic African feel while providing superior comfort. You’ll feel completely at home but really in Africa. Due to its large number of rooms and the spacious design of the place, Kakatar can cater to groups of up to 30 people whilst the meals can be taken privately in each suite or publicly with the other guests on our thatched rooftop terrace with panoramic views of the city and the sea. Kakatar is near Yoff beach also known as plage BCEAO which has now turned into a safe and delightful hub for local food, dining, entertainment and surfing. It is also filled with stalls on the beach side and; about half a km down the beach is the fishing quay where the local traditional boats (pirogues) take to the sea and return to their port with all the fresh seafood one can dream of.
@Kakatar, we focus on service and assist you in easing your journey into and throughout Senegal. So we try to be ahead of your every desire in the hope that your stay will meet its expectations in terms of local knowledge and comfort and your experience based on the real feel and understanding of the land, its people and its diverse culture and colors. We aim to provide tours, at some stage, of Senegal and are rebuilding our team to make your journey magical from your arrival at the airport, throughout your stay in Dakar or in the region and back to the airport after your stay. We aim to coordinate, provide logistic and accompany you into the best Senegal has to offer.
Our location in Yoff means you can stay away from the hustle and bustle of Dakar plateau but be 15mns away. We are a few hundred meters from the sea and the weather or climate is always tempered by the sea breeze. You can hear the sea 24/7 from any of the apartments or studios. We are 5mns from Ngor and the Almadies or Ouakam or the Corniche and near the highway and the VDN (one of the major thoroughfare leading to the Pink Lake). In fact, all the major conveniences of the modern world (banks, supermarket, local markets, bakeries, cafes, restaurant, laundromat etc, ...) are at walking distance. Every street corner also has a corner shop where most basic items can be purchased.
