What to expect

Climate

West Africa is predominantly tropical, hot and humid with distinct wet and dry seasons. Southern Africa's climate is highly varied, from desert aridity and Mediterranean zones to subtropical coasts, experiencing a range from very hot summers to mild or cold winters depending on the region.

Transport & Accessibility

Transport infrastructure varies significantly; Southern Africa generally boasts better-developed roads and domestic flight networks. Public transport in West Africa is often less formal. Accessibility for disabled travellers is still developing across both regions, with notable challenges in many areas.

Safety & Health

Safety levels differ by country and specific region, with popular tourist areas generally safer; petty crime is common. Healthcare quality ranges from excellent private facilities in Southern Africa's major cities to more basic services in rural areas. Comprehensive travel insurance and relevant vaccinations are crucial.
