Travel To Africa

Dream Of Your Trip - And Make It Happen

Getting inspired by African music and dreaming of distant worlds is wonderful - Actually living that dream is better!

Why not travel to Africa?!

Open-minded people can only benefit from a stay on this fascinating continent. Africa has a lot to teach to us Westerners, and a lot to offer:

Despite the sheer poverty that's still a reality in many places, Africa is extremely rich. Rich in culture, in music, in beauty and nature.

I invite you to at least picture yourself in Africa and explore some of the many possibilities today.

Let's go!

Explore the possibilities

What's your dream? A safari in Namibia? Or in Kenya? Or volunteer in Tanzania?

Travel Options

I know. Wanting to travel to Africa for the first time can make you feel a bit apprehensive. Not being familiar with the culture, the climate or even possible dangers, that's normal.

Not knowing what to expect shouldn't stop you from travelling though. All you have to do is chose a travel option that suits your needs and level of experience:

Safari

Safaris are guided tours and ideal for first time visitors who want to see the beauty of Africa. All you have to do is book a tour - Your whole stay will be organized and you'll be taken to the most breathtaking spots that you would never find on your own.

Volunteering

Rather do something meaningful? A good volunteer placement will give you a much deeper insight into a culture. You get the chance to really get to know the people, while still enjoying the safety of your volunteering organisation.

Africa Study Tours

Culture Study Tours

Let's not forget about the music here! There are excellent tours to learn traditional instruments and dances from local teachers. This is a fun way to explore a country's culture in a group of like-minded people.

Cheap Individual Travel

Naturally, organised tours have their price. You can explore all that Africa has to offer for much less if you travel on your own. This is a rather adventurous, but very rewarding way to travel. I only recommend it to experienced Africa travellers though.

My tip: If you are a first-time visitor but want to travel to Africa on your own, you can do what I did: I volunteered with an organisation in Ghana until I felt comfortable enough to go my own way. This is how I ended up staying for almost 4 years by myself. I've never regretted it!
