Africa is the ultimate adventure! Home to the world’s most awe-inspiring wildlife, this magical continent is just waiting to be explored on a gap year in Africa.
From top safari destinations like South Africa and Kenya where you can spot the Big 5 animals on a game drive to encountering gorillas on a trek through Uganda and sea turtles on the coast of Madagascar, trips to Africa are perfect for animal lovers.
Namibia is another incredible choice for an Africa gap year, as it’s where you’ll experience the best of Africa’s raw scenery – including amber sand dunes, steep canyons and spectacular stargazing. And who could forget about Morocco’s magnificent Sahara desert, bazaar markets and walled cities? See it all on our trips to Africa!
