Shipping from Holland to Dakar
 

Anyone experience with shipping a car/ container to dakar , gambia or guinea-bissau ?
we have only 40 days free, is doable NL-Senegal and back and spend some time in senegal in the national parks?

I have shipped out of Guinea Bissau to Norway this February. Not an easy place to do business, and potentially very expensive due to corruption and/or incompetence. I would only assume that Dakar would be the easiest place in the entire regioen for shipping both in or out ( sea, air or land)... I have myself never shipped in or out of Dakar. But, as I am considering just that, I will follow this thread closely.

I rode from Portugal to Guinea-Bissau in Fev.2011 within a group of 11 bikes.

All bikes were shipped from Bissau to Lisboa, Portugal. There are direct freight container lines.

I tend to agree that Dakar as better harbour infrastructure and more freight lines offering but corruption might be a problem.

Cannot provide further details because the shipping was taken care of by the company organizing the trip - MotoXplorers

My info is a bit old so not sure if it's still relevant but... I shipped a vehicle from Le Harve to Dakar on a ro-ro. I don't know the name of the company as I just dropped it off at an agent at Le Harve port and he took care of the rest.

how complicated was the paperwork in dakar? you did it yourself? you found the car ok, nothing missing?
