Good advices

A good trip starts with a good preparation. At Sol e Cidade, we guide you step by step to make you live this trip to Cape Verde at its best. Travel without worry thanks to this checklist. Our team is at your disposal to simplify the departure formalities.

To take away

During your stay in Cape Verde, you should bring light clothing, sunscreen, a good pair of shoes for mountain walks and a small medicine kit. You can plan some useful gifts for the children during your trip, such as pens, notebooks, summer clothes or shoes: they will always be very appreciated. Do not distribute them in the streets, as this would encourage children to beg.    They can be given during our solidarity days or give them to the parents of the families you meet.

 

When to go to Cape Verde?

Cape Verde can be visited delightfully all year round. To enjoy the most interesting conditions, it is better to visit Cape Verde at the end of the rainy season, between late September and mid-November: the drought is less severe, the winds are less violent and nature is covered with the luxuriant green that gives its name to the country. Temperatures are typically tropical with no cool season, although there are small variations throughout the year: the coolest months are from December to April (between 20°C and 25°C on average) and the hottest between May and August (between 25°C and 35°C). The seawater temperature is between 23 and 26°C all year round.

 

Health

For your trip to Cape Verde no vaccination is required but the classics including hepatitis A and B are recommended. All travellers going to Cape Verde through Senegal must be vaccinated against yellow fever and have an up-to-date health record.

– Drink only bottled mineral water, which is easily available. Cape Verde’s health conditions remain an example for all African countries.

The emergency kit:

Tablet against headaches, anti diarrhea, sunscreen, mosquito repellent, non-irritating cream, a little disinfectant and some plasters in case of a fall.

Our teams are constantly at your disposal for first aid.
