Gap Year & Student Travel
There is simply no place like Africa! From top to tail, Africa is a continent full of adventure offering amazing landscapes, lush wineries, ancient cultures, beautiful beaches and let’s not forget, some incredible wildlife encounters.

Make your trip one to remember and explore the souks of Morocco or gaze in wonder at the Pyramids of Giza in the north, trek to meet mountain gorillas or climb Kilimanjaro in the east, or perhaps aid the local community in Zambia and try to find the Big 5 in the south – Africa has a plethora of remarkable experiences to suit every traveller.

With more than 50 years’ experience, Trailfinders has developed the skills and expertise needed to help you get the most out of travelling in Africa. Our expert travel consultants are mines of information, gathered from personal travel experience and are the best people to ask to create your perfect trip.
