Mboro is a relatively safe and secure place because it is a small town in which everyone knows each other. However, crime against tourists in towns such as Dakar and Thies is common, so it is best to use common sense everywhere in Senegal. Keep a close eye on your belongings, watch your pockets in crowded places, women should not walk around alone after dark, try not to wear any outwardly expensive items of clothing or jewelry.
There are many different scams to get money from tourists, so be wary. They have a good police force, many of whom speak French. In case of emergency, there is a police station and several health clinics located in Mboro.
Avoid the beach at night as there fewer people there, and even less at night, that could help you in event of a problem. Cell phone service is also limited down there. Taxis stop travelling between the beach and main garage sometime around or after the dinner hour.
Senegal is one of the most governmentally stable countries in West Africa. Overall, though, the Senegalese are an incredibly friendly and hospitable people and you will meet many who are genuinely interested in talking to you and making sure you are having an enjoyable time in Senegal.
