Unlike many other travel companies we operate on a trust account model. Once we’ve paid the airline for your flights, the rest of your money is held in a trust account. We do not have access to this directly and can only withdraw funds when you are back home from holiday
All of our holidays that include flights are protected by the ATOL scheme from the moment you book. So if one of our suppliers fails, you’ll get your money back. If you’re left stranded abroad, a flight home will be arranged at no extra cost. Our ATOL number is 11806
As proud ABTA members we deliver the highest standards when it comes to our holidays. So if you book with us you’re guaranteed the best service. Our ABTA number is P8283, Y6720.
What's the weather like in Cape Verde in August?
Sitting in the Atlantic Ocean off the west coast of North Africa, Cape Verde enjoys year-round warmth with temperatures soaring in August. It starts to rain more too but you can still look forward to plenty of sun. The ‘African Caribbean’ doesn't have much rain all year round even though it’s a tropical destination. The surrounding sea will keep you cooler than in mainland Africa, with trade winds and sea breezes helping things to stay comfortable. Inland areas can become a lot hotter than the coast. The islands are relatively flat, which also helps keep temperatures down and humidity in check.
Averages
The typical high on Sal, Cape Verde’s most popular island, is 29ºC in August. This only drops to 24ºC at night so air conditioning’s a good idea. The sea temperature’s a warm 26ºC, while humidity’s high. There’s 23mm of rain over two days, and you can expect 13 hours of daylight with five hours of sunshine each day. Be careful in the sun as UV levels will be extreme so make sure you take sun cream. Sunset’s around 7pm.
