About Botanical Dakar Almadies
Botanical Dakar Almadies is based in the Almadies peninsula, Dakar’s most upscale coastal district. Les Almadies juts into the Atlantic Ocean at the westernmost point of continental Africa and is home to luxury hotels, embassies, international restaurants, and the residences of Dakar’s wealthiest families and the diplomatic community. This botanical wellness boutique serves the international crowd that frequents the neighbourhood.
The store carries a curated range of legal wellness products including plant-based supplements, natural cosmetics, and herbal preparations sourced from West African botanical traditions. For international visitors accustomed to buying CBD products in their home countries, the Almadies store represents one of the few outlets in Dakar where imported wellness products with hemp ingredients may occasionally be found.
Staff at this location are familiar with international visitors and able to advise on what is legally available. Under no circumstances are cannabis products sold or facilitated, in strict compliance with Senegalese law.
Legal Hemp & CBD Options
Limited imported hemp cosmetics (creams, body oils) may be available, subject to stock. Hemp seed food products are occasionally carried. True CBD oil in the European or North American sense is generally not available in Senegalese retail and should not be assumed to be accessible. Visitors should not attempt to use this store to source anything outside legal botanical wellness products.
Getting There
