The Cape Verde islands are the new buzz word in the British tourist industry. New to the scene, they offer tourists the chance to see a unique holiday location. Cape Verde is situated just off the coast of West Africa, about 1 hours flying time South of the Canaries

The islands that are set up to cater for typical tourists are the islands of Sal and Boa Vista; flat, sandy islands that have spectacular beaches and the climate to match. What about Cape Verde as a winter holiday resort? Given the dry surroundings of Sal and Boa Vista it would be safe to think that these islands see plenty of sun and very little rain. It is safe to say all inclusive packages to Cape Verde have given the winter holiday market another thing to dwell on.

Northern Senegal, couched between the arid desert lands and lush tropical forests in the south, this country boasts a stunning array of sights, sounds, flavours.  Go through a car rental company and be drawn to the busy streets, the vibrant markets, the glittering nightlife as it will draw you into their relentless rhythm.  Perched on the tip of a beach-lined peninsula, this city is made of elegance and street hustle all in one.  Most visitors of course head to Senegal for its beaches, where you’ll be invited to wide strips of white sand and swimming and sunbathing is welcoming you.

A city with a diverse range of attractions, sights and activities to offer any visitor.  From lavish and luxurious, to back-packing on a budget, Cape Town has something for everyone.  From the landmark beaches of Clifton and Camps Bay to the vibrant V&A Waterfront, and not to mention Cape Town city centre and the award winning wine farms of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek.  When we explored Cape Town, we rented a vehicle from Cape Town car rental, as we wanted to see everything we possibly could and we knew this was time we wouldn’t forget.

With its wide variety of activities, one can easily spend at least a week or more in Cape Town.  It is normally a good idea to have a rough idea of what you would like to see and do whilst visiting and planning a rough itinerary is a good idea to keep in mind.  We looked at some suggestions on how to spend a 3 or 5 day visit in Cape Town to see which wine routes and organized tours we could take before rented a vehicle from Cape Town car rental so we could enjoy the Cape in its full beauty.
