Cape Verde Road Trip

Cape Verde at your own wheel — a mapped self-drive through Sal · Boa Vista · São Vicente.

🗓️ 9N / 10D4.9 (743)🏨 3★ / 4★ en route🌤️ Best: Nov – Jun

Starting from

₹1,91,999 / person

Overview

The best of Cape Verde is usually between the towns, and this 9-night self-drive is built to find it. You get the car, a mapped scenic route through Sal · Boa Vista · São Vicente, and every night booked ahead — so Santa Maria beaches, Sal and Boa Vista dunes & turtle nesting happen on your schedule, with the detours left deliberately open.

Nov – Jun is the sweet spot for Cape Verde (Africa), and we plan departures from Surat around it — flights via Mumbai or Ahmedabad, 3★ / 4★ en route hotels locked in writing, and this itinerary from ₹1,91,999 per person on twin sharing.

Explera's Surat desk runs the whole journey end to end — flights, stays, transfers, guided sightseeing, Cape Verde visa assistance and insurance — with a written day-by-day plan before you pay and a human on call 24/7 while you travel. Every departure is fully customisable to your dates, budget and travellers.

Great value for a 9-night Sal trip. Clear communication before travel, GST invoice for our records, and genuine 24/7 support. This is how a holiday should be planned.
