Departure
Cape Verde sits in the Atlantic Ocean, 570 kilometres off the coast of Senegal — Africa’s most accessible island nation, well connected from Europe via TAP, Binter and TACV from Lisbon, Amsterdam and London. Sal and Boa Vista are the flattest, sunniest and most beach-focused islands in the archipelago — white sand, turquoise water, and the constant trade winds that made Cape Verde famous among windsurfers and kitesurfers worldwide.
Boa Vista is home to the Viana Desert — a genuine Saharan landscape of golden dunes that roll to the ocean’s edge, one of the most dramatic and unexpected landscapes in the Atlantic. Loggerhead sea turtles nest on Boa Vista’s beaches in one of the largest nesting populations in the world.
But Cape Verde is more than beaches. It is the birthplace of Morna — the soulful, melancholic music that UNESCO recognised as Intangible Cultural Heritage — and the home of Kriolu, the oldest creole language on Earth. Your Daylite Digital Ambassador brings this living Atlantic African culture to life.
Cape Verdeans are the product of one of history’s most painful encounters — Portuguese colonizers and enslaved West Africans — but from that pain came one of Africa’s most beautiful cultures. Morna — UNESCO Intangible Heritage — is the soulful, melancholic music of Cape Verde. Cesária Évora, the barefoot diva from São Vicente, took it to the world. Your Daylite Digital Ambassador brings this living culture to life.
