Villa Baobab
Villa Baobab — Exceptional event spaces
About Villa Baobab
Villa Baobab has spent 5 years hosting celebrations across Dakar and the wider region — from intimate ceremonies of thirty guests to six-hundred-guest receptions. The space works as one room or three, and the layout is set around your guest count rather than a fixed plan, and the result is a record of the day as it actually ran rather than a version assembled to a formula.
A site visit covers capacity, catering access, parking and the noise curfew. What you book includes a walkthrough, a floor plan and a run sheet agreed before the day. The plan is written down and shared, so you, your other suppliers and the venue are working from the same document — which is what stops the small things going wrong when the day gets busy.
Villa Baobab operates from Dakar and travels nationwide, works in fr / en and takes bookings from 3 500 000 XOF. Enquiries are answered within 4h with an itemised written quote rather than a range. Popular dates — spring and end-of-year Saturdays especially — are typically gone six to nine months out. You are not charged for asking.

The planning call made the difference — by the time the day arrived everyone knew exactly what was happening.
Our families are demanding and both sides were delighted, which does not happen often. Handled the whole day with real warmth.
Arrived early, set up without any fuss and stayed until everything was packed down. Professional from start to finish.
Worth every franc. The quality was noticeably above what we saw from the other quotes we collected.
