Your last day in Paris will be open for your personal pursuits. Your hotels in West Africa will be 4 Star in Dakar and while traveling throughout the country, you will be provided with the best available. In Paris you will be staying in the Latin Quartier close to the many Black historical and cultural sites of the area. This hotel will be 3.5 - 4 Stars.
If you are traveling on a US Passport, no visas will be required in Paris or Senegal. However, the Gambia does require a visa which will be arranged in Senegal for a cost of approximately $50.00 per person. You may also arrange the visa acquisiting in the US if you prefer. Kola Nut Travel will provide the necessary application approximately 60 days prior to your departure. Your passport must have a validity date of at least 6 months after the completion of your trip.This price does not include Round Trip Air Fare. If you would like to take advantage of lower cost air, we will be able to assist you with that. Since there are monthly payments, it is strongly suggested that we provide those services on your behalf no later than January 30, 2020. The closer you get to the departure dates, the more expensive the airfare begins. You will need immunizations for both the Gambia and Senegal. This information can be provided through your health care plan. Malaria pills will also be required and that prescription is usually provided at the time of the immunization process.
Most meals are covered in Senegal and the Gambia, however only breakfast will be provided in Paris. Hotels offered will be either double (two people in the same room) or a single room. We do not encourage a triple rate for 3 adults, due to the size of the room.
