You can also fly to Boa Vista with TUI from Birmingham and East Midlands. In April 2025, TUI added a new route from East Midlands to Boa Vista.

easyJet also launched a non-stop flight to Sal from London Gatwick in 2025. This gives you another option if you're flying from the south of England.

The best time to visit Cape Verde is from November to June. During this time, you can enjoy clear skies and very little rain. From September to October, the islands have a short wet season. September is normally the rainiest month, with average highs between 26°C and 30°C. In winter, roughly December to February, a dry haze called “bruma seca” sometimes arrives from the Sahara.

The cheapest time to visit Cape Verde is outside UK school holidays and Christmas. Flights are usually lower in price between January and March and again in May or June. To get the lowest price, be flexible by a few days. You should also avoid half-term dates and set up fare alerts.

If you're flying direct from the UK to Cape Verde, the flight usually takes around 6 hours. If you choose a one-stop flight, it will take longer. Most connecting routes go through Lisbon. The flight from the UK to Lisbon is around 2.5 to 3 hours. After that, the Lisbon to Sal leg takes about 4 hours. Once you include the layover, the whole trip can last most of the day.

Cape Verde is safe to visit for UK travellers. You just need to take the usual precautions, like you would on any trip abroad. The UK government says most visits are trouble-free. That said, small crimes like bag-snatching and pickpocketing can happen, especially in Praia or busy tourist areas on Sal and Boa Vista. Some beaches have strong waves and currents. Always follow lifeguard advice and watch for flag warnings.

There is no recent record of terrorism in Cape Verde, but it’s still good to stay alert, just as you would anywhere.
