Connecting through another country?
This page covers a direct flight to Senegal. If your route connects through a third country, that country may require its own transit visa — sometimes even for a short stop inside the airport between flights (a layover). Transit rules depend on your specific routing, so check the country you connect through separately, or analyse your full itinerary.
What to know before you go
Check your phone coverage abroad

Malaria-endemic destination: Malawi (MW) and Senegal (SN)

Transmission is often region-limited within a country (e.g. coastal vs highland zones) and varies by season. Discuss prophylaxis with a travel medicine clinician — the right antimalarial depends on the specific region, your medical history, and any medications you take.
