Not the easiest but probably the most rewarding…

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).
