The Cape Verde experience

The new Cape Verde Experience brochure November 2009 – April 2010 has been produced and is now available to download from the tour operator’s website - capeverdeexperience.co.uk. The specialist continues to feature six out of the ten islands in this West African archipelago.

In addition to holidays at one hotel on one island, twin and multi-centre trips can be arranged. There are four set island-hopping itineraries, but The Cape Verde Experience is also flexible in planning tailor-made holidays to suit individual tastes and budgets.

Day excursions and activities can also be organised.

In total, The Cape Verde Experience portfolio is comprised of 17 hotels, ranging from 2.5 grade to 4 grade, with a variety of board options. New additions for 2009/2010 include the 4 grade, all-inclusive, Crioula Hotel in Sal, and the 4 grade, all-inclusive, Iberostar Club Boa Vista in Boa Vista. The Iberostar resort - positioned on one of the best beaches in Boa Vista - is due to open this November (09).

The tour operator can book direct flights to Sal from London Gatwick, Manchester and Birmingham; and direct flights to Boa Vista from London Gatwick and Manchester (subject to availability). Packages, flight-only and accommodation-only bookings are all possible.

The Cape Verde Experience prides itself on having produced an honest and informative brochure. As part of holiday packages, an English-speaking, local representative is also contactable on each of the featured islands. The Cape Verde Experience is sister company to The Gambia Experience and The Senegal Experience, the former accredited with 5* AITO Responsible Tourism status.

This winter, a 7-night holiday with The Cape Verde Experience starts from £629 per person. This is based on bed & breakfast accommodation at the 2.5 grade Hotel Pontão in Sal (two sharing), and includes return flights, transfers and taxes. Island-Hopping itineraries start from £1495 per person for 7-nights (price is based on the Santiago & The Island of Fire tour).
