Why Africa is the perfect post-COVID destination.

WHY IT’S THE PERFECT POST COVID-19 DESTINATION

We have all been upset, disappointed and disheartened at travel plans coming to a halt as the world entered a long period of lockdown.

Both travellers and experts in the tourism industry have spoken about the enormous interest in Africa as one of the top post-COVID destinations, and Pembury cannot agree more! Not only is Africa one of the best global travel destinations because of the diversity of countries and experiences, it is also travel-ready.

As lockdown levels decline, we have already seen the opening of international borders into African countries like Rwanda, Kenya and Tanzania with neighbouring countries following suit. Since panic has slowly subsided, you can start thinking of how refreshing it will be to travel again.

We understand you might be weary about travelling or wondering which destination is the best in a post-pandemic world, here are a few of the many reasons as to why Africa is the best post-COVID holiday destination.

Safety Protocols are in Effect

The global standstill gave everyone time to rethink the future of travel and how to proceed with a reinforcement of health and safety regulations. During this time, the tourism industry on a global level has made preparations for a post-COVID era to ensure new safety protocols are adhered to.

In Africa, industry designed tourism protocols have received the World Travel and Tourism Council’s (WTTC) stamp of approval. And with this fantastic news, Africa and Pembury are eager to welcome guests back.

Spoiled for Choice

Africa, as a holiday destination, gives ample choice – there is something for everyone. This makes it the perfect destination to create a tailor-made tour that takes into account any concerns or worries you might have, as well as ensures that you have that dream getaway you have been dreaming of.

Africa, though often referred to as a singular destination, is in fact made up of a whopping 54 countries. Whether you want to enjoy an authentic African safari, learn about the diverse cultures and history of its countries, or just relax on the beautiful, white-sand beaches – there is an African country for you. Hike Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, see how coffee is grown in Rwanda, snorkel off the shores of Mauritius, or witness the Great Migration in Kenya – it is unlikely that Africa won’t have what you’re looking for!

Safaris

Authentic African safaris seem to be designed with social distancing in mind. Despite being one of the most iconic African experiences, safaris also make for an ideal post-COVID experience. They take place in wide, expansive savannahs and grasslands with an abundance of fresh-air and warm sun. Not to mention, they tend to be exclusive and limited in numbers. You and your family or friends have the option of being the only people in the game drive vehicle if you opt for a private experience. Safari lodges also tend to emphasise exclusivity, so you will not be sharing accommodation with a huge number of people as you would should you stay in a hotel.
