Travel Info Has anyone been on holiday to Cape Verde, and if so how was it? Travel Tips I live at a hot spot vacation destination all year but going on vacation to Cape Verde was the best time I ever had. Located in the Sahel zone, Cape Verde is a marine extension of the Sahara. Consequently, the islands benefit from a dry, moderate climate throughout the year. Rainfall is regular and tends to arrive in short bursts between August and Oct. Due to the mild climate of the archipelago light clothing is recommended. Pack an overcoat to wear at night (except July and August) or for trips into the mountains. For enjoying the beach I recommend to visit Cape Verde in May, June, July and August. For Island Hopping and travelling around spring might be the best time before it's getting hot and surfers definetely going in the winter timer because of the wind. Almost every island of Cape Verde is different. Mostly you will fly in to Sal via Lisboa. Don't stay on Sal. Pick one of the other islands. I have been to the island Boa Vista. Most relaxing holidays ever. Nothing to do there. Couln't even spend any money. Boa Vista has one holiday resort. Beautiful little houses built in the mountain. Long white beaches and not much tourism. Cape Verde belongs to one of the poorest countries and everything needs to be importet. I advise you to book an all inclusive package, because otherwise you might not find a suitable restaurant. Wildlife on Cape Verde are mostly birds. Haven't seen any rivers or waterfalls, but you can make a great Volcano tour on Fogo. If you would like to see as much as possible of the islands, you can book an island hopping tour. You then will fly in a small plane from one island to the other, just form Fogo to Brava you have to take a ferry. People on Cape Verde are very friendly and open, but hardly don't speak no english. Most tourist over there are from Italy, Spain an Portugal. It is advised to have a travel insurance in case you fall sick, so you will be flown out. Medical care over there is not compared with western standard. I hope you will enjoy your vacation. I loved it over there. If you need some more info, feel free to email me.
