Cape Verde travel advice

Reports indicate significant outbreaks of dengue fever in Brava, Fogo, Maio, and São Tiago (Santiago). The number of cases reported has been decreasing since November 2009.

Most visits to Cape Verde are trouble-free, but you should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate international terrorist attacks, which could be against civillian targets, including places frequented by foreigners.

This advice is based on information provided by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in the UK. It is correct at time of publishing. As the situation can change rapidly, visitors are advised to contact the following organisations for the latest travel advice:
