The experience

First thing I noticed stepping off the plane at Blaise Diagne (DSS) was the thick, warm air, almost sweet, honestly. Our driver was already waiting near arrivals, holding a little sign with my name (felt weirdly official). He smiled and waved us over before I could even fumble for my phone. The airport was busy but not chaotic. Just families hugging, porters chatting in Wolof, that sort of background hum you get when people are coming home. I didn’t expect to feel so… looked after? He grabbed our bags like it was nothing and led us outside where the car was parked close by.

The ride to Riu Baobab Hotel took about an hour. I thought it’d feel long but time slipped past as we watched the landscape change from city edges to open stretches dotted with baobabs. The car smelled faintly of new upholstery mixed with something herbal (maybe his air freshener?). Air conditioning was a lifesaver. There were cold bottles of water waiting for us in the cup holders, plus WiFi that actually worked: my partner immediately sent photos back home. Our driver told me his name was Mamadou. He pointed out villages as we passed and laughed when I tried to pronounce “Nianing” right (I definitely didn’t). The road wasn’t always smooth but somehow that made it more real.

On the way back to DSS airport a few days later, Mamadou showed up five minutes early at the hotel lobby. He even remembered we needed a child seat for our daughter. She fell asleep almost instantly once we got moving (something about the gentle hum of the hybrid engine, maybe?). I still think about how quiet it felt driving through those early morning roads. Just sunrise light slanting across empty fields and not much else. It’s funny how something as simple as a private transfer can stick in your memory for reasons you don’t expect.
