Africa Transit Tours

Flights through Africa can be delayed due to connections and shortage of planes flying to various places. Most African states do not own planes as such the few planes are shared within this continent. As this is the case most times, travelers have to wait for hours, a day or days before they can connect to their next destinations. Visitors have to wait at the airports lounges and hotels doing nothing but reading books and sipping several cups of coffee while wallowing within the cafeterias and duty free shops. The airlines do accommodate travellers whose flight connections take over a day in various city hotels. Visitors then have no alternative but to wait as long as is required, bored and idle in their hotel rooms.

In view of the above, Niche Africa holidays have transit tours which are excursions for hours within a city and short safaris out of the various cities which can take a day or two depending to a travelers scheduled flight time table.
