Africa

There is no single visa rule for “Africa” because Africa is a continent of many different countries. Here’s how it works generally:

• For example, if you travel to South Africa with a UK passport, you do not need a visa for tourism or short visits up to 90 days. GOV.UK+1

• Other countries may require a visa, or offer visa-on-arrival or e-visa, depending on your nationality. Guide of Africa+2Wikipedia+2

• Also — passport validity and blank-page requirements often apply, and some countries may have extra entry requirements (e.g. vaccination certificates or return/ onward-ticket). GOV.UK+1

In short: yes — in many cases you will require a visa or travel authorisation when travelling to African countries, but it depends entirely on the specific country and your passport/nationality.

Yes — millions of travellers visit Africa every year. Like any destination, safety varies by region, so it’s important to follow local advice, choose reputable accommodation and guides, and stay aware of your surroundings. With proper planning, Africa offers wonderfully safe and rewarding travel experiences.

Africa offers an incredible variety — from safaris and beach breaks to cultural city escapes, desert adventures, wine regions, and luxury retreats. Whether you’re travelling as a family, a couple, or a group, there’s a perfect experience for every style of traveller.
