Africa

Africa isn’t where you go for a simple country catch. It’s where you go when you want something different.

This is a continent of extremes with vast deserts, chaotic cities, incredible wildlife and cultures that feel a world away from the norm. Africa is ideal for curious catchers who like going beyond the obvious!

• ✈ ️ Access: Better than you think. Airlines like Turkish Airlines connect much of the continent
• 🛂 Visas: Often required and sometimes time-consuming
• 💉 Health: Vaccinations are often required and can take time to procure (yellow fever common). Malaria tablets advised and bottled water only.
• 🌍 On the ground: Can be chaotic but that’s all part of it
• 🤝 People: Friendly, open, and engaging.
• 🗣️ Language: English and French are widely spoken, so getting around is easier than you might expect
• 🎒 Small gesture, big impact: If you have space, bring spare clothing (especially football shirts).
