Cape Verde is an Archipelago of nine islands lying like a jewelled necklace off the coast of West Africa.
And how they sparkle.

Until recently Cape Verde's beauty was largely kept a secret – the long beaches of endless white sand, lapped by turquoise ocean: the historical mystery of colonial style towns like Ribeira Grande the first European City in the tropics: the wide variety of landscapes – from dramatic volcanic – to lush and verdant.

Nowadays, the Cape Verde islands are opening up to tourists, especially holiday makers searching for a rich blend of fresh holiday experiences. Even the Cape Verde people are unique, being a cultural mix of their two nearest neighbours – Senegal and Brazil, this combination is most obvious in the ever-present Cape Verde music; a scintillating hip-swinging fusion of Samba and Salsa sprinkled with tribal African.

If you enjoy fine beaches, beautiful scenery, vibrant cultures and have a sense of adventure Cape Verde will not disappoint.
 


About Us

We aim to provide a bespoken service to our travellers. As our name suggests, we are committed to developing this young country, where one third of its 450,000 population are still attending school. Our experience extends to 15 years continued promotion of this archipelago of nine islands. Our working knowledge of the islands enables us the opportunity to form travel arrrangements for our travellers to island hop, to make the most of their time and enjoy the rich variety on offer in Cape Verde. The traditional static holiday on the white sandy beaches are also available in the popular 'all-inclusive' or traditional hotels offering bed and breakfast. You are invited to study our brochure or our website, select a holiday and without hesitation, contact us with your specific requirements, including Special Needs. It is anticipated that our new premises in Mindelo, Sao Vicente will co-ordinate all island services including hotel reservations and tours, visiting cruise ships and/or advice on Real Estate.
