Budget, time to travel, countries to visit and so on that could be endless. Without a doubt, there are many things to take into account when planning your trip to Africa.

Here are some of the best tips for traveling to Africa: Take note.

Choose your destination

You must start by choosing your destination correctly. Keep in mind that depending on your interests, one or another destination may be better for you, so it is important that you do your research and focus.

Prepare your trip well in advance

We recommend you do it slowly and look for inspiration both on our website and in other blogs, documentaries and travel guides.

medical considerations

It is essential -and for several countries mandatory- that you find out about the most common diseases of the continent on your first trip to Africa and if you need to be vaccinated.

Think about what activities you want to do

Africa offers a wide range of activities and it is impossible to do them all in one trip. For this reason, it is advisable to have an idea of what you want to visit on the continent and the experiences you want to experience during your days on it.

don’t stay incommunicado

In many of the hotels, lodges and big cities you will find wifi. If you think you will need mobile data, you can check with your phone company or buy a local card in the destination country.

Hire a good guide

A guide can totally change your vision of a trip.

Guides during safaris, for example, have been trained and educated for years and know all about the terrain and its wildlife. In other places, they will help you get a better idea of the local culture.
