Backpacking in Africa – Work and Travel

You may wish to experience more of Africa before or after your volunteer placement. It is not uncommon for volunteers to go backpacking in Africa with the friends that they have made on their gap year in Africa.

The best way to see the African continent is to work and travel as it provides you with the best of both worlds. Travelling and backpacking in Africa gives you a greater and deeper insight into the fascinating sights, wildlife and cultures that make up this intriguing land.

Travel After volunteering in Africa

Travel after volunteering in Africa and be rewarded with sights such as: Uganda’s deep tropical jungles, the endless plains of Kenya’s Serengeti, the fascinating cultures of Tanzania's captivating spice island of Zanzibar, palm fringed beaches in Mozambique and unsurpassed views in South Africa.

An example of an itinerary may be as follows: From Kenya’s bustling capital Nairobi, move on through Tanzania and the Serengeti, through Malawi and via her great Lake teeming with tropical fish, past Victoria Falls in Zambia and Zimbabwe’s Hwange National Park, via Botswana’s elephant sanctuary Chobe National Park, and on into South Africa finishing in the vivacious ‘Mother City’ – Cape Town.
