Traveling independently in Africa is possible! Five stays in total freedom

2022-06-16T04:15:47.224Z


Originally, free travel in Africa was the preserve of a few adventurous backpackers. Today, it is possible to go individually without taking any risk through a tour operator. Five stays without ties!


Originally, it was impossible to go to Africa, Asia or Latin America without joining a group.

Only a few adventurous backpackers attempted the adventure of freedom.

Then travel became more democratic, individualism accompanied it.

We want to travel, but at our own pace.

Go where you want, when you want.

Five individual stays on African soil.
