GB News: Travel warning: Britons travelling to popular African holiday destination issued warning when planning activities
The FCDO has updated travel guidance for British visitors to Cape Verde, emphasizing the need to check travel insurance for coverage on medical care and extreme sports, particularly quad biking. Limited healthcare facilities may necessitate medical evacuation after accidents, and wearing a crash helmet is legally required.
Medical services in Cape Verde are basic, with only two main hospitals available. Tourists are advised to bring sufficient medication due to shortages on the islands, particularly on Boa Vista.
