West Africa is a huge territory featuring beautiful countries with several hundred million inhabitants.
These countries boast a rich history, beautiful scenery and friendly people. For many people, visiting Africa is once in a lifetime experience and making most of this trip is their maximum priority.
West Africa is viewed by British holidaymakers as somewhat off the beaten track. This adds to its appeal.
While some of the African mainland destinations are not quite as “polished” as destinations in the Caribbean, Greece or the Seychelles, Cape Verde and Sao Tome & Principe (both are off-shore groups of islands) provide standards that are comparative.
