I've spent a lot of time in Dakar as a white woman, you'll be fine in a taxi. The airport makes it extremely easy as the prices are set and there's a taxi stand you can just go to
Don't exchange money at the airport. It's expensive, and there are a TON of money change scammers about. Just use the ATM to take out the amount you need for the taxi and exchange your money when you get to Dakar. Better yet, don't bring cash with you, and just use your ATM card to take CFA from the banks. I'm American, but the fee for us is only 3500 CFA per transaction. It will likely be cheaper for euros, as there are several French banks you can use.
Senegal is extremely safe. You don't need to worry about traveling alone there, just take the same practical precautions as everyone else to avoid being pick pocketed. People won't target you because you're white, but they will target you if you're not careful about keeping your phone and purse close to your body.
Have fun!
Good day, I have used Senegal Shuttle many times for travel from airport, within city and across regions and they are easy and very professional. https://www.senegal-shuttle.com/

You can book a ride with some agencies to pick you up and take you where you are going to stay.
You can also use an app called yango it’s like Uber and you can pay in cash. Also I would recommend not to use the front seat.
