Golden Gap Years Travel Tips: A Golden Year in Africa
There are so many great things to do on a golden gap year or break in Africa, whether it's joining an amazing overland expedition, visiting a game reserve or just experiencing the beauty and diversity of such an amazing continent.
We've picked out some of the best.
Experience the sunset on the Serengeti, Tanzania
Let's face it, think of Africa and you think of big cats, giraffes, wilderbeast and zebras (well, we do!). Africa is THE place for a Safari and no African trip is complete without going on Safari. Many people say you haven't lived until you've seen a Serengeti sunset so we reckon since you're going all that way you should stick it on your itinerary.

Visit South Africa
South Africa has a fascinating human and cultural history and it has grown from the dark days of Apartheid to become one of the most popular tourist destinations in the continent. Let's see... you can go shark diving on the Western Cape, climb Table Mountain for an amazing view of Cape Town, go on safari in Kruger National Park and even bungee from from one of the world’s highest drops – the bridge over the Blaukrans River on the Western Cape - a mere 216 metres above sea level and a breathtaking view if you can keep your eyes open!

Take a helicopter ride over Victoria Falls
