West Africa Holidays


africa
A West African holiday is nothing if not an adventure! The diversity in culture, language, music, food and landscapes is incredible.

From the Francophone streets of Dakar and the incredible wetlands of The Gambia to the traditional home of the Voodoo religion in Togo, you’ll find surprises at every turn.

We offer a selection of guided group tours to ensure you make the most of your time in this lesser visited part of Africa. So if you want to go in search of some incredible bird life, embark on safari – on land and water, stargaze in the desert or simply sit back and relax on the beach, we have an experience for you.

WHERE TO GO IN WEST AFRICA

Each country of West Africa boasts its own attractions and it’s no exaggeration to say each merits a holiday in its own right. It would be just as easy to spend all your time in search of some spectacular wildlife of each destination as it would to use it discovering the beaches, wetlands, deserts and cultural sights.

Click on the tiles below for more details on each holiday destination. Alternatively, if you are looking for some inspiration, give us a call and speak to one of our expert travel consultants?
The Gambia

The Gambia may be Africa's smallest country but there is plenty to keep you busy.

Benin

The narrow wedge of Benin, sandwiched between Nigeria and Togo, has a dark and tumultuous history but is now slowly emerging into the light.

Togo

Togo may be small by African standards, but there’s more than enough here to reward the curious traveller.

Senegal

As the former capital of French West Africa, Senegal has long been a popular spot for French speaking tourists.

Cote d'Ivoire

French-speaking Cote d'Ivoire is perhaps Africa's most surprising destination.
