OK..we have a lot of info on this crossing...Cheapest option is to pay 2500cfa for a 2 day Passavant and go to Dakar and get 30 days for free..
Go to the customs office in the Place de Independence. You will see the AXA building and to the right of it a sign saying Senegal Tours.. Go into the building and walk to the 4th floor..
We were invited to see the "Big Boss" who was bored and lounging on his leather sofa and just wanted a chat..We did the usual "We love Senegal" thing..and it was happy days all round. Any more info needed just ask..Oh..and don't use a fixer at Diama. Just have your 4000cfa ready for the bridge crossing after the Mauri side..first go the Police building on the right and then to the customs office on the left to get your Passavant.
Do not pay anything on the Mauri side!!! I didn't despite aggressive attempts by all 3 offices there..i can guide you through that as well if you want?? You will be asked to pay a vey small Community tax on the Mauri side which maybe right.
