With spectacular scenery, beaches, safari and endless horizons, Africa is perfect for just about every kind of holiday. From Cairo in the north, which is brimming with history, to the beaches and coral reefs of the Red Sea, the breathtaking natural surroundings of Kenya to the famous party vibe of Cape Town.

When to visit?
The continent is so vast that it covers so many time zones and climate changes. It’s generally best to go to Northern Africa and Egypt in the winter months because of the heat. Kenya is great all year round as the animals come out when it’s the rainy season. South Africa is best September - May. Always check with ‘Student Flights’ as the best cheap student flights to Africa will often be slightly out of season.

What are the must-see attractions?
Must do’s in Kenya - safari trips, either escorted in a safari bus or walking safari’s if you are feeling a bit daring! A visit to the Mombassa coast is also a must. Take in the views of the Indian Ocean. Victoria Falls in Zambia, the ruins of great Zimbabwe, Soweto in Johannesburg, Robben Island, in Cape Town… so much to see and do! Ask about internal flights when you make your booking as we have a range of cheap flights for students.

What else is there to do?
Don’t just travel, experience the place. There’s so much history, so many different cultures and flavors, we recommend to experience the real Africa you should try and spend time with the people, in South Africa, Zambia and Kenya, where there are villages that welcome tourists, and where these are not false communities set up for tourists but real people offering you a glimpse of their wonderful culture.
